Back in April with this season’s end in sight, Yankuba Minteh talked to the media in Holland, saying he was loving his progress and now just a case of seeing what NUFC will decide ahead of the 2024/25 campaign. He said: “Things are going well with Feyenoord. I am developing myself here. You look at the bigger picture. I am young and I am here to learn. Sometimes my decisions [on the pitch] were terrible [earlier this season with Feyenoord] but you learn quickly. I can’t say anything about my future [for next season] yet. We will see what Newcastle United, where I’m under contract, will decide. However, another year at De Kuip [with Feyenoord], I wouldn’t mind that of course.”
