Brilliant at Brighton, Yankuba Minteh draws interest from the big clubs

Everyone wants to land Yankuba Minteh this summer. The Gambian striker from Brighton, coming off a strong season, has caught the eye of England’s top clubs.

Tottenham, having secured a Champions League spot, are leading the chase. The Spurs see him as a credible successor to Son Heung-min, who could be on his way out. The Bakoteh-born forward is turning heads with his explosiveness, direct running, and ability to make the difference in one-on-one situations. He’s put together a relentless campaign (7 goals, 5 assists in 37 appearances).

But Tottenham will face fierce competition. Manchester United and Liverpool, both eager to inject youth and energy into their attacking lines, have also put his name on their shortlist. Under contract with Brighton until 2029, Minteh won’t come cheap. The south coast club, well aware of his potential and room for growth, could demand a hefty fee. This transfer saga is one to watch closely.
