Tariq Lamptey has shared his admiration for Brazil and Barcelona legend Dani Alves.
The Ghana international disclosed during his unveiling at Fiorentina that he takes inspiration from the 42-year-old.
Alves remains one of the most decorated footballers in the world and arguably the best right-back to ever play the game.
“I draw inspiration from Dani Alves,” he said while also adding Alves’ ex-teammate Ronaldinho is his idol. ” I grew up watching him but my idol is Ronaldinho.”
Lamptey joined La Viola in the summer transfer window from English Premier League side Brighton and Hove Albion, signing a four-year deal with the Italian outfit.
“Every team is a different challenge, and it improves me as a player. Fiorentina has been following me since I was young, it’s beautiful,” he added.
“Yes, there were others but when Fiorentina explained their project to me, I didn’t think twice and wanted to come right away.”
Lamptey made his Fiorentina debut in the game against Napoli at the weekend.
