Liverpool are being linked with a summer move for Brighton’s Gambian right winger Yankuba Minteh, 21, as speculation grows over the future of the highly rated Premier League prospect.
Minteh, born in Bakoteh on 22 July 2004 and now valued at €45.00m on Transfermarkt, is emerging as a potential target as Liverpool explore wide options ahead of next season. The rumour, logged on 21 June 2026 with the likelihood of a deal still listed only as “?”, suggests early-stage interest rather than an advanced negotiation.
The left-footed attacker, who stands at 1.80m, wears the No 11 shirt for Brighton and is deployed primarily as an attacking right winger. His current contract details and expiry date are not publicly disclosed, leaving uncertainty over whether he could eventually run down his deal and move as a free agent if talks over a new agreement do not materialise.
Minteh’s most recent outing for Brighton came earlier this month in the Premier League against [opponent not specified in available data] on June 21, 2026, a match that finished [scoreline not specified], with the Gambian featuring on the right flank. While detailed statistics from that game are not included in the current data, his performances across the campaign have helped drive his valuation into the upper bracket for young wide forwards.
Having established himself in England’s top flight with Brighton & Hove Albion, Minteh’s profile – pace, direct dribbling and a strong left foot cutting in from the right – aligns with Liverpool’s historical use of wide forwards.
With no clear end date on his Brighton contract and his market value already at €45.00m, any move would likely require a substantial fee unless the situation eventually drifts towards a free-agent scenario. If the transfer does happen, a switch to Anfield could become the defining step in Minteh’s career, testing his potential at the very top end of the Premier League.
