Gambian sports journalist, Amadou Tamba, has described Gambian winger Yankuba Minteh’s move to Brighton and Hove Albion as a “good move”.
He said this in an exclusive interview with Channel One Sports in the wake of the 19 year old’s move from Feyenoord to Brighton on a five year deal worth 33 million pounds.
The left footed Minteh played last season on loan at Feyenoord and won the Dutch Cup but was on the books of English Premier League side Newcastle United.
Speaking on the move, Tamba had a positive outlook on the move despite Minteh joining a well-stocked roster that has top wingers like Ghana’s Ibrahim Osman and Japan’s Karou Mitoma.
“I think, yes, he has made the right move. That is absolutely a very good decision as far as Yankuba Minteh and Gambian football is concerned…this is an opportunity that has come at the right time and I am very much hopeful that Minteh can do good in the Premier League for Brighton.”
Last season, Minteh registered 11 goals and six assists in 37 games.
