This season just gets better and better for Yankuba Minteh.

His raw talent and pace increasingly leading to goals and assists as the season has went on, which has combined with now becoming a regular in the starting eleven for Feyenoord.

As well as scoring for the Dutch side in the Champions League against Celtic, this season Yankuba Mineth has thirteen direct goal involvements for Feyenoord in the league, scoring nine and four assists.

However, ending the season very strongly, the 19 year old NUFC loan star now has eight direct goal involvements (six goals and two assists) in just his last eight matches for Feyenoord. The three most recent direct goal involvements, two goals and an assist, coming in his 75 minutes on the pitch during the 6-0 thrashing of huge rivals Ajax at the weekend (watch them below).

Only 12 days now as well before Feyenoord, including almost certainly Yankuba Minteh, are set to play in the Dutch Cup final against NEC.

Now in the aftermath of that starring performance against Ajax, Yankuba Minteh has been talking to Algemeen Dagblad over in Holland.

“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.”

Here’s hoping Yankuba Minteh continues to get ever better in these remaining matches of the season and picks up that winners medal in 12 days time in the cup final.

Then over to Eddie Howe and Newcastle United, as they decide what to do next season with the exciting young winger.
