Yankuba Minteh makes new Everton transfer decision after Sean Dyche talks – report

Yankuba Minteh, the highly-rated Newcastle United attacker, has set his sights on joining Everton this summer, according to Italian outlet Gazzetta Dello Sport. Despite a transfer seeming unlikely, Minteh is determined to make the move to Goodison Park, with a fee of around £25million reportedly enough to persuade Newcastle to sell.Minteh has already spoken with Everton manager Sean Dyche about the prospects of a move, and it’s clear that the 19-year-old is keen to join the Toffees.

However, Newcastle’s cooling of their pursuit of Dominic Calvert-Lewin may have scuppered Minteh’s chances of moving to Everton, with Roma and Lyon emerging as alternative destinations for the Gambian forward.Despite this setback, Minteh remains keen on joining Everton, and with Newcastle openly looking to sell him to ease profit and sustainability worries, a deal could still be struck.

The impending takeover of Roma owner Dan Friedkin is set to bring newfound financial stability to Everton, which could potentially pave the way for a deal to be done.With Friedkin set to be in control of both Roma and Everton, a deal could yet be struck whereby the Texan decides which of his two clubs he’d be most keen on seeing Minteh play for next season. This is certainly still one to watch over the next couple of months, and Everton fans will be keeping a close eye on developments.
