About
Yankuba Minteh is a Gambian forward who plays as a right winger for Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion. Born in Bakoteh, he left The Gambia in 2022 to begin his European career with Danish side Odense, before Newcastle United signed him in the summer of 2023 and immediately loaned him to Feyenoord. His season in the Netherlands proved a breakthrough, as he scored 10 goals with six assists in the Eredivisie under Arne Slot and impressed in European competition. Brighton then secured him from Newcastle in 2024 in a deal worth around £30 million, attracted by his blistering pace and direct dribbling. A full Gambia international, he has added goals and assists during his Brighton spell. Minteh is tied to the Seagulls on a long-term contract running until June 2029, with his reported weekly wage standing at around £40,000.
