Danish side Odense Boldklub are on course to lose one of their young attackers.
That’s because recent reports have suggested Gambian winger Yankuba Minteh is ‘very close’ to securing a transfer to Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United.
And speaking recently about the prospect of playing for the Magpies, Minteh, 18, who scored during his side’s recent 2-2 draw against Lyngby BK, said: “I am ready to take the next step, and it will only be good for me.
“Of course, I want to go to Newcastle. It’s a big club in the Premier League and they’re doing something good. They are fighting for a place in the Champions League.”
Since being promoted to Odense Boldklub’s senior first-team at the start of the season, Minteh, who has 12 months left on his contract, has directly contributed to nine goals in 13 appearances in all competitions.
