Liverpool have been linked with a move for Brighton right winger Yankuba Minteh, with the 21-year-old Gambia international rumoured to be on the radar of the Anfield club ahead of the next transfer window.
The speculation, dated 26 May 2026, centres on a potential switch within the Premier League from Brighton & Hove Albion to Liverpool, with Minteh currently valued at €40.00m on Transfermarkt. The reported probability of the move remains unclear, and there is no confirmed agreement between the clubs. However, with no publicly listed contract expiry date at Brighton, observers have also raised the possibility that future talks over his deal could influence whether he eventually moves on for a fee or later explores free agent options if his contract situation changes.
Minteh, who wears the number 11 shirt for Brighton, operates primarily as an attacking right winger and prefers his left foot. Born in Bakoteh, The Gambia, on 22 July 2004, he is listed at 1.80m tall and is regarded as one of the more promising wide forwards of his age group from the country. He represents The Gambia at international level and is classified as a right winger by trade.
The rumour emerges with his market value holding at €40.00m, reflecting his rapid rise in recent seasons. Brighton, established as a selling club in recent years, have often commanded significant fees for emerging attacking talents, adding a layer of intrigue to any potential negotiations with another Premier League side.
No fee, contract length or personal terms have been reported as agreed at this stage, and the transfer remains at the level of speculation. If a move to Liverpool were to materialise, it would mark a major step in Minteh’s career and could significantly shape his reputation and long-term potential at the top end of English and European football.
