Newcastle United loanee Yankuba Minteh has been discussing his future after another impressive performance for Feyenoord; where he’s bagged four goals in his last three Eredivisie appearanes.
Speaking to Dutch outlet Voetbal International, he’s revealed his ultimate plan is to return to Newcastle and impress in England, saying “one day I will play in the Premier League.”
Playing top flight football on Tyneside is his “goal”, but is unsure what the future holds this summer. The 19-year-old expects to hear “soon” what the club have in mind for him, revealing that another loan is possible after links with a return to Rotterdam or a loan spell in the Championship.
“Ultimately, the Premier League is my goal.” Minteh said. “Newcastle United is the club that have a lot of confidence in me.
“I have no idea what the future looks like. I was in Newcastle once, when they played against Borussia Dortmund. I will hear soon what plans the club has for me. I’m still young, I have time, maybe they want to loan me out again.
“Playing at Feyenoord, I made my debut in the Champions League, but at the same time I also think that I could perhaps have shown a little more. Okay, I scored against Celtic and recently against PSV and Heracles Almelo, but also opportunities missed. I am not easily satisfied.
“I really want to win the cup. That is a tangible prize. A second place (in the league), I know that it will qualify us for the Champions League and in that respect it is worth as much as a trophy, but that’s not how it feels to me.
“I want to become a champion, that’s what you play for. The cup would give our season extra shine.
“My parents sit in front of the television, like everyone else in Gambia. The whole country (backs me). It can become the first real prize for me as a footballer. If it were up to me, the first of many.”
Maybe a deal, he stays for a second year we buy Giminez.

He probably thinks he will get more playing time there.
