Tunisia’s national coach Alain Giresse called up the 1.96 metre tall Bayer 04 U19 central defender in a surprise move a couple of weeks ago and Lamti went on to make his full international debut against Iraq (2-0) last Friday. The youngster from the Rhineland has progressed through all the Bayer 04 junior teams but has never played for a Germany team.
Lamti, who trained with the first team under Peter Bosz, made a name for himself last season with impressive performances. The homegrown talent played the full 90 minutes in 24 of 26 games in the U19 Bundesliga (West) scoring two goals.
