Tottenham eye Minteh transfer as sources issues update on deal
Tottenham, Arsenal and Liverpool have all been linked with a move to sign Brighton attacker Yankuba Minteh.
The 20-year-old moved to the AMEX Stadium last summer from Newcastle and has become an important first-team player.
He shone during his loan spell at Feyenoord and has impressed in his first season in the Premier League as well.
Manchester United enter race to sign Minteh
After a disastrous domestic season and losing the Europa League final, Manchester United are eyeing reinforcements in the summer.
According to Stretty News (30 May), sources have revealed that the Gambia attacker is on United’s radar in the upcoming transfer window.
| Player | Appearances | Goals | Assists |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yankuba Minteh | 32 | 6 | 4 |
They will have to convince him to move to Old Trafford over other clubs that can offer him Champions League football next season.
Brighton will also likely look to make a profit on the £30million they paid the Magpies to sign him less than a year ago.
Tottenham must look to sign Minteh this summer
Minteh would be an excellent signing for Tottenham in the summer of 2025 due to his dynamic skill set and potential to address squad needs.
His 2024/25 Premier League campaign with Brighton showcased his pace, ranking him among the league’s fastest, and his ability to unsettle defences with lightning dribbles and high pressing.
His stats demonstrate his attacking output, while his flair and work rate have made him a potent weapon on the break.
Tottenham, seeking depth on the right wing with uncertainties around players like Son Heung-min’s role, would benefit from Minteh’s versatility as a classic winger or inside forward.
His youth aligns with the club’s recent recruitment strategy and his valuation offers value compared to pricier alternatives.
Despite needing polish in decision-making, his rapid rise from The Gambia to the Premier League, coupled with a successful Feyenoord loan, suggests he can develop into a star, making him a smart long-term investment for Spurs’ top-four ambitions.
