Liverpool are keen to sign Brighton striker Yankuba Minteh.
The 21-year-old has done quite well since arriving in the Premier League and he could prove to be a great long-term investment for Liverpool.
Liverpool need a winger like Yankuba Minteh
They need more quality on the flanks, and Minteh certainly fits the profile. He has worked with Arne Slot in the past, and the Liverpool manager has made his admiration for the player very clear in the past, saying his pace is a “huge weapon”.
A reunion could be exciting for all parties. It will be interesting to see if Liverpool follow up on their interest with a formal offer to sign the explosive winger from Brighton. The English club will not want to sell a promising prospect like Minteh, and Liverpool may have to pay a premium to convince him. It’s no secret that they are looking to add more quality on the flanks. They have also been linked to Antoine Semenyo.
They have missed the guile and explosiveness of Luis Diaz since his departure. They are looking to fill that void in the coming months with Minteh, according to Fichajes.
Minteh could become a star
Minteh is still only 21 years old and he has the potential to become a top player if given the right guidance. The African will feel a move to Liverpool could unlock his true potential. He would work with a manager he knows closely and Slot could bring out the best in him.
It remains to be seen whether Liverpool will come forward with an official proposal. Convincing Brighton to sell the player won’t be easy.
Additionally, the Seagulls won’t want to weaken the team mid-season, and any decisions may have to wait until the summer.
