Everton are now the frontrunners to sign ‘incredibly fast’ player this summer – journalist

Everton Football Club is intensifying their efforts to strengthen their squad during the summer transfer window. With the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Regulations (PSR) deadline looming on June 30, the Toffees are set to offload players to balance their books. Lewis Dobbin has already completed a move to Aston Villa, while Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s transfer to Newcastle United is reportedly nearing completion.

While Calvert-Lewin’s departure would be a significant loss for Everton, it would also provide the club with the financial flexibility to pursue new signings. One player who has emerged as a top target for Everton is Yankuba Minteh, a highly-rated winger from Feyenoord. Director of football Kevin Thelwell is particularly keen to secure Minteh’s signature, according to reports.

Minteh’s impressive performances for Feyenoord last season caught the attention of several European clubs, making him a highly sought-after talent. The 19-year-old Gambian winger contributed to 17 goals in 37 appearances and earned praise from his former coach, Arne Slot, now the manager of Liverpool. Slot described Minteh as “incredibly fast” and praised his work ethic and willingness to learn.Everton’s interest in Minteh is understandable, given their need for attacking reinforcements.

Under Sean Dyche’s management, the Toffees have struggled to find consistency in front of goal, and Minteh’s pace and skill would be a welcome addition to the squad. With his high ceiling and potential for growth, Minteh could become a valuable asset for Everton in the years to come.According to Foot Mercato journalist Santi Aouna, Everton are currently leading the chase for Minteh’s signature, ahead of other interested clubs.

This would be a significant coup for the Toffees, given the competition for the young winger’s services.As the transfer window heats up, Everton fans will be eagerly following developments on Minteh’s potential move to Goodison Park. With the club’s history of developing young talent, Minteh could thrive under Dyche’s guidance and become a fan favorite in the years to come.
