In an electrifying revelation, Yankuba Minteh, the Champions League-groomed winger, bares his aspirations ahead of a pivotal move to Newcastle United, painting a vivid picture of his dreams and inspirations en route to the Premier League stage.
Marking the climax of a season-long loan at Feyenoord, the Gambian sensation is poised to grace the Premier League following an £8 million acquisition by the Magpies, swiftly followed by a loan spell at Eredivisie powerhouse Feyenoord.
Despite encountering a setback due to an injury sidelining him until the New Year, Minteh’s fervour remains undiminished as he expresses his lifelong ambition of treading the Premier League turf. “Every footballer yearns to shine in Europe’s top leagues, and the Premier League stands unrivalled,” Minteh passionately declared in an exclusive interview with the club’s website.

With a fervent eye on his imminent switch to Newcastle, Minteh echoes his determination to impress Eddie Howe, emphasizing his admiration for the Magpies’ penchant for nurturing young talents. Amidst stiff competition from seasoned talents like Anthony Gordon, Miguel Almirón, Jacob Murphy, and Harvey Barnes, Minteh envisages carving his place in the first-team setup.
Minteh’s journey is woven with admiration for past Magpies luminaries like Hatem Ben Arfa, Demba Ba, and Papiss Cissé while presently finding inspiration in the playing style of Miguel Almirón, envisaging a parallel in their wing-oriented approach.
Unveiling his football prowess, Minteh exudes confidence in his lightning pace, a skill complemented by his finesse in one-on-one duels and a knack for finding the net—a trifecta of traits that define his playing style.
As Minteh’s saga unfolds, all eyes remain transfixed on the horizon, eagerly anticipating the rise of this young dynamo as he prepares to script his chapter in Newcastle United’s illustrious history.
