Yankuba Minteh is Brighton’s Silver Creator, arriving in the Premier League with the pedigree of two KNVB Beker trophies from his time in the Netherlands. At this stage of his career, he has established himself as a reliable creative outlet, providing the technical spark required to stretch opposition lines and generate goal-scoring opportunities.

Across 22 appearances and 1,612 minutes of action, Minteh has validated his status as a high-volume playmaker. While he is currently searching for rhythm during a quiet spell in front of goal, his underlying output remains significant. He has earned the ARCHITECT badge for his 1.73 key passes per 90, complemented by his DRIBBLER status which is fueled by 2.7 successful take-ons per match. His Dribbling score of 77 stands as his most potent dimension, allowing him to maintain Balance under pressure and bypass markers with ease. Although his form is cooling off after a run of five matches without a goal contribution, his season-long reliability ensures he remains a tactical priority for his manager.
