GOOD DEAL TRANSFER UPDATE: Minteh to Liverpool

Liverpool boss Arne Slot has been touted to return for one of his old Feyenoord players in the form of Newcastle United loanee Yankuba Minteh – but reports have claimed that a deal is far fro completion and ‘unlikely’ to happen this summe

Slot is aware that he needs to hit the ground running when it comes to replacing Jurgen Klopp, with the German being heralded as a modern-day Liverpool legend for turning the club’s fortunes around after a decade of underperforming; but with new recruits and a hungry squad, he will be able to mark his own canvas out on Merseyside. And he could do just that in the coming weeks – though Minteh won’t be a player that he signs.

Minteh has been one of Newcastle’s many success stories

The report from The Athletic suggests that Minteh has been linked with Liverpool, but the Reds are currently not looking to sign the youngster despite various rumours suggesting they are in the market for an understudy to Mohamed Salah.

Minteh was on loan at Feyenoord last season under Slot, recording 17 goal contributions in just 37 games – and so there is already a relationship there between the two. However, whilst Liverpool are interested in signing a wide midfielder to add to their squad depth, there won’t be a reunion of sorts between Slot and Minteh at Anfield in the coming months.
