According to FC Update, Dutch club Feyenoord will require substantial financial investment to secure the permanent signing of Yankuba Minteh from Newcastle United during the upcoming summer transfer window. Journalist Martijn Krabbendam discusses the talented winger and the potential for a permanent transfer. Minteh, who arrived at Newcastle from Odense in a €8m deal last summer, was immediately loaned out to Feyenoord for the season. This loan move aimed to provide him with valuable exposure to European football and consistent playing opportunities, ultimately fostering his growth and development as a player.
In the Netherlands, Yankuba Minteh has been making a mark with his performances, having amassed 25 appearances so far. Impressively, he has recorded six goals and three assists during these games. His displays have garnered him a growing fan base in the country, and they are receptive to the idea of a permanent move if the opportunity arises.
However, FC Update reports that Feyenoord would need to make a substantial financial commitment to secure the services of the promising Magpies starlet. Nonetheless, Krabbendam, speaking on the Feyenoord podcast for Voetbal International, expresses his belief that Minteh has the potential to become an exceptional player. He highlights Minteh’s rapid progress, noting that despite having only played professional football for about two years since being discovered in Gambia, his current abilities, particularly his speed, indicate even greater potential for growth.
Krabbendam also commends Newcastle for their astute acquisition, acknowledging that although they paid a significant sum for Minteh, his potential justifies the investment. The combination of Minteh’s speed and untapped potential makes him an exciting prospect for both Feyenoord and Newcastle.
