Brighton have completed the signing of Tariq Lamptey from Chelsea.
The right-back, 19, impressed after coming on as a substitute against Arsenal last month for his Premier League debut.
Chelsea boss Frank Lampard made it clear that the club wanted Lamptey to sign new deal and stay at Stamford Bridge, where his contract was due to expire this summer.
However, Lamptey was keen to move on and play regular first-team football.
