Yankuba Minteh: Gambian teenager joins Newcastle United from Denmark's Odense

Newcastle United have signed Gambian winger Yankuba Minteh from Danish side Odense.

The Magpies say the 18-year-old will officially join them on 1 July before moving to Dutch side Feyenoord on loan for the 2023-24 season.

Minteh had four goals and six assists in 17 Superliga matches in 2022-23.

"We are very pleased to be bringing a player with Yankuba's high potential to Newcastle United," said Magpies sporting director Dan Ashworth.

"He has done extremely well in his first full season in Denmark, and he has a promising career ahead of him."

Minteh moved to Denmark last July after beginning his career at Gambian side Steve Biko FC.
