Brighton & Hove Albion have agreed a five-year deal to sign Gambia winger Yankuba Minteh from Newcastle United, the club announced on Sunday.
The 19-year-old joined the club after a successful season on loan at Feyenoord, the runners-up of the Eredivisie, where he made 37 appearances in all competitions, scoring 10 league goals.
Brighton have agreed on a £30 million ($37m) fee with Newcastle. Eddie Howe’s side wanted to make a major sale by the end of June to avoid the chance of breaking Premier League profit and sustainability regulations.
“Yankuba is a young talent who has attracted a lot of interest and we’re delighted to welcome him to the club,” Brighton technical director David Weir said in a statement.
