Premier League star is still set on future Liverpool move

Yankuba Minteh and Liverpool: Why a £70m Right-Wing Option Could Return to the Agenda Liverpool's search for greater balance in attack has not gone away, and the name of Yankuba Minteh still lingers with purpose. The Brighton winger was heavily discussed as a target before, and while that move never came together, the sense remains that this story has not run its course.

Minteh, valued at £70m, fits a profile Liverpool still need. For all the talent already assembled, there is a clear shortage of natural right-sided attackers.

Bradley Barcola and Victor Munoz arrived to strengthen the forward line, but both are more comfortable from the left. Cody Gakpo and Rio Ngumoha also prefer that flank.

In a squad that needs width, directness and a genuine outlet from the right, Minteh stands out. Liverpool's attack has looked lopsided at times, and that imbalance has affected the flow of the side in the final third.

A specialist on the right would bring order as much as excitement, giving defenders a different problem and offering a clearer structure around the central attackers. Minteh has the tools to do exactly that.

He is quick, aggressive and positive in possession, and he carries that rare quality of making defenders retreat. His left foot gives him a familiar angle from the right, allowing him to drive inside or go to the byline.

There is rawness in his game, certainly, but rawness can be refined. Pace and nerve are harder to teach.

Yankuba Minteh still seen as Anfield-bound contender There is also encouragement in the view of those who know his story best. Baboucarr Fallaboweh said of Minteh's rise, "Everything around him was football.

He loved football and people came to notice him when he played in the school football team. So that's where he made his name for his school."
