Minteh focused on Brighton as Liverpool move remains uncertain

Published 28 September 2026

Brighton winger Yankuba Minteh says he is focused on his current club and eager to return from injury, while Gambian football expert Baboucarr Fallaboweh says Minteh would still want to join Liverpool if another opportunity arises. The summer transfer did not happen, and neither club has confirmed a renewed approach. Minteh’s comments, relayed by journalist Fodah Manneh, emphasized his commitment to Brighton. He said he did not want to discuss transfers and was happy with what had been decided for him. He also said he was eager to come back and help the team, adding that his return would be “very soon.” The remarks do not confirm or rule out a future move to Liverpool. Fallaboweh, speaking about the transfer speculation, said Minteh would still want to go to Liverpool. He also noted that the winger’s injury had affected the situation and that a return to form could help explain Liverpool’s previous interest. That assessment is Fallaboweh’s view; Minteh has not publicly confirmed that he wants to leave Brighton for Liverpool. Liverpool made approaches for Minteh during the summer transfer window, but Brighton did not agree to a deal.
