Yankuba Minteh’s stellar performance has earned him high praise from Brighton & Hove Albion coach Fabian Hurzeler after the young Gambian international scored a brace in their 3-0 victory over Chelsea in the 25th round of the English Premier League.
Minteh’s goals in each half secured a dominant win for the Seagulls, showcasing his growing influence on the team. Speaking to Sky Sports after the match, Hurzeler commended the 20-year-old winger’s progress.
“I think he tries to improve in every aspect of the game. That is what we will demand from him, especially against the ball. Because defensive stability is always the key and the offensive player has to be part of it. Minteh is developing. When you commit for the team, I am always convinced that you will always get the chance in position and transition. Today he had this.”
Since joining Brighton at the start of the season, Minteh has quickly become a key player for the Seagulls. The former Feyenoord player has already netted five league goals this season, demonstrating his potential and value to the team.
