Yankuba Minteh says Brighton's treatment of young players was key in him making the move from Newcastle.

The 19-year-old, who spent last season on loan at Dutch club Feyenoord, has signed a deal with the Seagulls until 2029.

“I'm feeling really happy about the move,” he said. “Feyenoord was a great experience for me. Everybody loved me, the coaching staff, players - it was like a family. But Brighton is a club which I have watched in the Premier League. It's a good club for young players and the way the young players have progressed here is important for me.

“I think it's a great thing to move to [another] Premier League club. Although I didn't play any games for Newcastle look where I am now! I have the chance at Brighton in the Premier League.”

Minteh contributed 10 goals and six assists on loan at Feyenoord in the 2023-24 season.

So what do you expect from him? Is this a good bit of business? Tell us here.
