# Palace fans react as club reportedly make offer for Chelsea defender Lamptey

Chelsea right-back Tariq Lamptey appears to be a man in demand, and Crystal Palace have reportedly made a £5 million bid for the teenager.

The news has been quick to reach several Eagles supporters, who have reacted to the reported offer.

According to [Italian reporter Marco Conterio](https://twitter.com/marcoconterio/status/1222564912460967938), Palace, as well as Premier League rivals Brighton and Sheffield United, have all made offers for the 19-year-old.

Conterio also shared [AC Milan’s](https://twitter.com/marcoconterio/status/1222563517007572992) and [Lille’s](https://twitter.com/marcoconterio/status/1222564912460967938) interest in the right-back, with both European sides looking to reach a pre-agreement deal for the Blues youngster.

Lamptey is [out of contract at the end of the season](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tariq-lamptey/profil/spieler/504148), however, the [Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7939263/Chelsea-academy-graduate-Tariq-Lamptey-pre-contract-offer-table-Lille.html) claim that Frank Lampard has high hopes for the defender and wants to tie him down to a new deal.

The teenager has made [three first-team appearances for the Blues this season](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tariq-lamptey/profil/spieler/504148), with his only Premier League appearance coming in the 2-1 win over Arsenal last month.

However, with no deal yet agreed, it appears as if the interested parties may have an outside chance of securing the defender’s services.

> Twitter: @CPFC\_NEWS\_HQ @ChrissyPalace @marcoconterio Very good young player! Would be another good young defender signing if we could get it done. (@TheGoverner99)

> Twitter: @CPFC\_NEWS\_HQ @marcoconterio I like him but we’re already signing a young RB so this doesn’t make sense (@SWPalace)
