Fabian Huerzeler beleives “Yankuba Minteh: The Speedster Poised to Conquer the Premier League!”

The Albion winger has not been involved with his club in recent fixtures. But he is with the national squad under the supervision of head coach Jonathan McKinstry. He is understood to have trained without problems on Tuesday. Albion fans will hope that is a great sign that he is ready to add to the club’s options in the Premier League. Gambia are currently third in their qualifying group and face matches against Comoros in Berkane, Morocco, before travelling to Rades to meet group leaders Tunisia. Minteh has not played since the last international window, when he was involved in two important late goals for his country in their games against Madagascar. Albion head coach Fabian Huerzeler has made it clear how he values the summer signing rom Newcastle among his attacking options. Huerzeler said recently: "Minteh lives from his physicality. He is very fast, he plays very intense. “If you already have this physicality inside of you and you are a sprinter, then I think it is a little bit easier to adapt in the Premier League, especially in his position. "On top of that, he can improve in different phases, so more goals, more assists, be more active when the ball is far away, more precise in his passing, his first touch. "He is a very young player. He has a great base to play in the Premier League. Now it is about improving the details. “When you see him working every day and how clear he is in his vision of where he wants to go, where he wants to be, I think that is the most important thing for a young player, to have this intrinsic motivation to improve every day. "I am sure he will improve during the season by getting game time, experiences on the pitch, growing as a personality, then he will be a great player for us." Jack Hinshelwood (England under-21s) and Carlos Baleba (Cameroon) are absent from current international squads.
