Yankuba Minteh still wants a move to Liverpool despite the club’s failed pursuit over the summer, according to Gambian football expert Baboucarr Fallaboweh. Brighton rejected two Liverpool offers for the 22-year-old winger, including a £60million bid, and held firm on their £80million valuation.
Andoni Iraola brought in Bradley Barcola and Victor Munoz as attacking reinforcements but did not secure a specialist right-winger, a position Minteh would have filled. An injury in the summer has since sidelined him for the opening months of the season.
Minteh has publicly stated his focus remains on Brighton and his recovery, telling GRTS: “I am focused. I am in Brighton. That is the team I am playing for… I am really, really eager to come back and help my team.” However, Gambian football expert Baboucarr Fallaboweh believes the winger still harbours ambitions of a move to Anfield. “I think Liverpool,” Fallaboweh told Sport Witness. “He will still want to go to Liverpool. Depending on how Liverpool will activate that desire to still have him.” Fallaboweh added that Minteh is unlikely to move outside the Premier League if he does depart Brighton.
