Liverpool Hunt Wide Midfielder but Star Link played low

Liverpool are interested in adding a wide midfielder to Arne Slot’s squad this summer, but a reunion with his former Feyenoord boss Yankuba Minteh is not currently on the agenda, according to The Athletic.

Minteh was on loan at Feyenoord last season under Slot, where he scored eleven times and registered six assists in 37 appearances, making a big impression on the man now on the Liverpool hot seat.

The winger is expected to return to Newcastle United for pre-season, where Eddie Howe wants to ply him over the summer, but he could be sold.

Newcastle could sell Minteh to boost their finances for PSR purposes and have been linked with Liverpool, with a £40m price tag.

Liverpool are looking for a wide midfielder to add to Slot’s squad.

And Slott’s arrival at Anfield has led to suggestions that Minteh could move to Merseyside in the next transfer window.

However, the Newcastle winger is not a player the Reds are currently considering signing this summer.

As it stands, Slot and Minteh will not be reuniting on Merseyside, despite their success together in Rotterdam last season.

It is unclear whether Newcastle will get takers for Minteh at their hefty £40m price tag.
