Gambian sensation Yankuba Minteh has made a flying start to life in the 2025/2026 English Premier League, quickly establishing himself as one of the most influential young players this season.

The Brighton winger has recorded more touches in the opposition box (24) than any other player so far, clearly reflecting his attacking threat.

Minteh’s direct style of play has also seen him excel in one-on-one situations.

He has successfully completed 11 of his 14 take-ons, the highest success rate among players with at least 10 attempts. Minteh’s ability to beat defenders consistently has made him a key outlet for Brighton in the final third.

Beyond his attacking numbers, the Gambian international is also proving his work rate.

He currently sits sixth in the league for ground duels won, showing his commitment to competing across all areas of the pitch. With such well-rounded contributions, Minteh’s rise is drawing growing attention from both fans and analysts.
