Yankuba Minteh: Can Newcastle's 'magic' teen star in Premier League?

As Newcastle United prepare for European competition this season, one of their players at a fellow Champions League club has the potential to create further excitement.

Yankuba Minteh, 18, has had a meteoric rise from amateur anonymity in The Gambia. He's already become a sensation in the Danish Superliga, played senior international football and also encountered some of the game's well-known pitfalls.

He joined Newcastle in June for a multi-million pound fee but was immediately loaned out to Dutch side Feyenoord.

So what can Magpies fans expect from Minteh? And what are his chances of eventually making it in the Premier League?
