Liverpool are looking for a new winger this summer, and Yankuba Minteh has quickly become one of the biggest names on their list. Latest transfer news reports now suggest that Liverpool could soon make their move, but signing him will not be easy.
Liverpool step up interest in Yankuba Minteh
As reported by TEAMtalk, Liverpool remain very interested in signing Minteh from Brighton & Hove Albion. The report claims that the Merseyside club could submit a concrete bid within the next two weeks. They are still searching for a long-term and a very solid replacement for Mohamed Salah.
The 21-year-old has impressed with his speed, direct running and ability to play on both the wings. Last season, the Gambian international scored three goals and provided four assists in all competitions. Those numbers may not look huge, but his overall performances have caught the attention of several top clubs.
As reported by Liverpool FC’s official website, the club’s media watch also highlighted the growing links with Minteh while noting that Liverpool continue to study different options before making a final decision on their next winger. Mohamed Salah leaving the club in this window has made everything Liverpool’s summer planning complicated.
Yankuba Minteh’s stats for Brighton this season, as per FOTMOB:
Competitions Matches Goals Assists
Premier League 34 3 4
EFL Cup 1 0 0
FA Cup 1 0 0
Brighton stand firm over Yankuba Minteh
Signing Minteh will not come cheap. As reported by TEAMtalk, Brighton value the winger at around £70-80 million and are under no pressure to sell. The Seagulls believe his value could continue to rise because of his age and potential.
Liverpool’s search has become more difficult after missing out on other leading targets. As reported by The Athletic, the Premier League champions have also been tracking players such as Said El Mala and Matias Fernandez-Pardo as they continue to rebuild their attack following Salah’s departure. The Reds are carefully weighing every option before spending a large fee. Minteh fits the profile they want. He is young, fast and already understands the demands of English football after his season with Brighton.
Big summer decision still ahead
The transfer window is still open, and Liverpool have time to decide whether Minteh becomes their priority signing. As reported by MSN, the club are preparing a bid while also keeping a close eye on Bradley Barcola’s situation, as both players remain part of their shortlist.
If a move for the French winger becomes too expensive or impossible, Minteh could become the leading option. Brighton, however, are expected to negotiate from a position of strength and will only consider offers that match their valuation. For now, the Gambian winger remains a Brighton player. But with Liverpool continuing to monitor the situation, this transfer story could develop quickly over the coming weeks as both Premier League clubs prepare for another important season.
Author’s Opinion
Yankuba Minteh still has plenty to prove, but his potential is easy to see. Liverpool need a player who can grow over time, not just replace Salah overnight. If the price is right, this could be a smart long-term investment.
