Yankuba Minteh makes impressive opening statement with Feyenoord after joining Newcastle United

Newcastle United new boy Yankuba Minteh is raring to go with Feyenoord after completing his move to St James' Park on a whirlwind day.

The 18-year-old arrival from Odense Boldklub will immediately hook up with the Dutch champions and he will also be involved in the Champions League next term. United loan boss Shola Ameobi will be able to keep tabs on Minteh via a short flight across the North Sea next term.
