Newcastle United look to have landed a real talent in Yankuba Minteh after an impressing debut for Feyenoord. The Gambian winger, 18, netted for the Dutch side after coming on as a second-half substitute in the 3-1 friendly victory over PEC Zwolle on Saturday.
Minteh was given the opportunity to score from the penalty spot as Feyenoord boss Arne Slot urged the teenager to take the spot-kick to round out the comfortable win. The youngster made no mistake, burying his penalty low and hard beyond the goalkeeper.
His debut performance has clearly got Feyenoord fans, and local media, excited, with many believing Minteh will have a bright campaign in the Eredivisie. Voetbal International journalist and Feyenoord correspondent Martijn Krabbendam is one of many to hold that view.
