Liverpool Football Club has formally approached Brighton & Hove Albion to inquire about the availability of winger Yankuba Minteh. The 19-year-old Gambian international, who spent the previous season on loan at Feyenoord, has become a subject of interest as Liverpool looks to bolster its attacking options under new management.

Minteh’s performance during his loan spell in the Eredivisie—where he contributed significantly to Feyenoord’s campaign—has reportedly drawn attention from several clubs. While the approach from Liverpool confirms their interest, negotiations are in the preliminary stages. Brighton, having only recently secured the player, must now decide whether to integrate him into their first-team squad or capitalize on his rising market value.

There is currently no consensus among reports regarding the potential valuation of the player or whether Brighton is willing to entertain a permanent sale so soon after his arrival. While Liverpool has made the initial move, the situation remains fluid, and no formal agreement or transfer fee has been discussed publicly. The interest highlights Liverpool's intent to scout young, high-potential talent as they transition into a new era following the departure of Jurgen Klopp.
