Last season, Arne Slot was in charge of managing Yankuba Minteh at Feyenoord. However, following Jurgen Klopp's departure, Slot has now taken over as the new manager at Liverpool. His success at Feyenoord, where he won both the Eredivisie and KNVB Cup, has caught the attention of the Premier League club.
With a new manager at the helm, Liverpool is looking to make some changes to their squad. Slot is already on the hunt for new additions and may turn to his former team for inspiration. According to reports, Liverpool is interested in Newcastle United winger, Yankuba Minteh, who spent last season on loan at Feyenoord.
Despite not having played a single minute for Newcastle, Minteh made a strong impression in the Netherlands with 11 goals and six assists in all competitions. While the club values the 19-year-old highly, they are open to selling him for around £40 million to comply with financial rules.
However, Liverpool may face competition from other clubs in Germany and Italy who are also interested in the Gambian international. Newcastle manager Eddie Howe was impressed with Minteh's loan performances, stating that he tackled the challenge of playing in a new league and even featuring in the Champions League.
In addition to Minteh, Newcastle is also considering selling Bruno Guimaraes to ease their financial concerns. The Brazilian midfielder recently admitted that his future at the club is uncertain. It remains to be seen whether Liverpool will be successful in their pursuit of Minteh, but they are definitely not the only ones eyeing the talented winger.
