Brighton defender Tariq Lamptey has been named in Ghana's squad for the first time ahead of friendlies with Brazil and Nicaragua later this month.

Lamptey, 21, had previously represented England at all levels from Under 18 to Under 21, featuring 20 times, but announced he was switching allegiance to Ghana in July.

The right-back qualifies for the Black Stars through his parents and joins up with their squad ahead of the Qatar World Cup, which begins on November 20.

The Ghanaian FA's technical advisor Chris Hughton is driving a programme to recruit foreign-born players with Ghanaian heritage to play for the country.

Athletic Bilbao striker Inaki Williams is also in the squad after switching allegiances from Spain.
