Scouting Report & Player Insights
Yankuba Minteh is a rapid, direct Gambian winger who joined Brighton & Hove Albion after a breakout loan spell at Feyenoord where he impressed with his pace and goal threat. He operates primarily off the right but can play either flank, using explosive acceleration to beat full-backs and get into the box. At Brighton he has become a regular squad option in their high-tempo, possession-based system under Fabian Hurzeler, valued as much for his pressing energy as his attacking output. His game is still rounding out in terms of decision-making and end product against top-tier defenses.
Impressed on loan at Feyenoord before making a permanent move to Brighton.
Established himself as a key attacking player for the Gambia national team.
