Yankuba Minteh: Can Newcastle's 'magic' teen star in Premier League?
"He went from complete unknown to very, very known," recalls Nielsen. "He took everything at once - he ate the whole cake.Tom Saintfiet, head coach of The Gambia's national team, included Minteh for the first time in November after he contributed to five goals in seven games at club level.
Reigning Dutch champions Feyenoord will give Minteh an environment he can grow in this season, believes The Gambia's head coach Tom SaintfietMinteh received brief suspensions at Odense for incidents including kicking a corner flag and staying out after 11pm two days before a match. Nielsen sympathises with Minteh and speaks warmly of the "very likeable" personality who quickly won friends at the club.
"He's still a kid. He listens to the coach and advisers but also puts himself under pressure because he tasted what it was like to be a star."The way that he contacted me when he had a bad moment at Odense showed me that he is smart and grown up enough to ask for advice."
