'Big deal' Newcastle have already done as club insider talks about 'exciting' transfer project

Newcastle United new boy Yankuba Minteh says signing for the Magpies earlier this summer was "a dream come true".

Minteh has started work for the 2023/24 season on Thursday with Feyenoord after joining the Dutch giants on loan for the entire campaign. The 18-year-old Gambian winger will get the chance to play in the Champions League with the title winners from Holland and his journey will be followed closely by Newcastle loan co-ordinator Shola Ameobi and his number two Peter Ramage.

Minteh, speaking to Danish network TV2, said: "I was excited to tell my parents. They had been praying for me, and had been since I was young. They know I want to be a football player. "They hope for the best for me and have been supporting me."
