Queens Park Rangers Chief Executive Officer Christian Nourry has expressed his excitement following the signing of Ghana international Tariq Lamptey.
The 26-year-old right-back has joined the English Championship club on a long-term contract after parting ways with Italian Serie A side Fiorentina.
Lamptey moved to Fiorentina with high expectations but endured a difficult spell in Italy after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, which limited his involvement. Following the 2025/26 season, both parties agreed to end his contract by mutual consent.
QPR moved quickly to secure the services of the former Chelsea defender, and Nourry believes the club provides the ideal environment for Lamptey to rediscover his best form.
“It is great to be able to announce Tariq’s arrival at QPR today,” Nourry told the club’s official website.
“We’ve had good conversations about what he wants to achieve and how he feels that this is the right environment for him to flourish in.
“With over 100 Premier League appearances to his name at 25, there is no doubting his talent.
“His decision to join QPR over a myriad of other EFL Championship clubs and clubs abroad is a further signal of the growing potential of this football club.”
Lamptey, who was born in Hillingdon, England, began his career at Chelsea’s academy and made his Premier League debut against Arsenal in 2019.
He later joined Brighton & Hove Albion in 2020, where he established himself as an exciting attacking full-back, making more than 120 appearances for the Seagulls before moving to Fiorentina.
The defender has represented Ghana at international level, featuring at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, and has earned 11 senior caps for the Black Stars.
QPR will hope Lamptey’s arrival marks the beginning of a successful chapter as he looks to return to full fitness and regain his top form in the Championship.
