Some news to bring you all today from our illustrious football team, as the Seagulls have made a few new signings so it makes perfect sense to take this time to introduce them to you all and give you an idea of what you can expect from them this upcoming season.
I’m personally quite excited about these two, and I feel that justified as our recruitment has been excellent in recent years. A subject well documented. Let’s hope if these two work out as well as all the rest and if they have a desire to eventually move on to pastures new, they choose Chelsea as they will pay us an astronomical fee for the players.
Lightning Quick: Yankuba Minteh’s Transformation at New Brighton
Dutch football writer Lentin Goodijk has described New Brighton’s recent acquisition, Yankuba Minteh, as “lightning quick” but emphasised his significant progress in controlling his game.
The 19-year-old winger, who joined New Brighton from Newcastle United in June for a £30 million five-year deal, had an impressive stint at Dutch club Feyenoord last season. He netted 10 goals in 27 league matches and also scored against Celtic in the Champions League. Brighton is currently valued at 20/1 to finish in the Champions League next season which is a bit of a long-shot. You would be better off increasing your odds of winning some cash by playing Bitcoin jackpot slots from Betpanda UK, as I can’t see Albion finishing in the top four next season.
Regardless of our European aspirations, I think this is a great bit of business for the club. Newcastle were reluctant to let him go and only did so due to financial regulations so this one is a bit of a coupé for Albion.
Mats Wieffer Joins New Brighton: Another Key Player from Feyenoord
Another signing with a connection to Feyenoord is also causing a stir at the club. Mats Wieffer is described as a player who is pragmatic and sensible, not a flair player but a necessary part of a team, the glue that holds it all together if you will.
The 24-year-old midfielder has signed a contract until 2029 with the Seagulls, costing the club a reported €30 million (£25.4 million). Wieffer’s journey saw him rise from the FC Twente academy to Excelsior in the second division before joining Feyenoord in 2022. During his time at Feyenoord, he scored nine goals and provided 11 assists in 79 games. It said he is already impressing the coaching staff at Brighton with his application in training and they are hoping he will be a pivotal signing for the club for the upcoming season. He helped Feyenoord win a league title so we can have high hopes for the player. Now we look forward to another exciting season of premier league football. Personally, after the disappointment of England losing in yet another final, I’m quite looking forward to the season starting as quickly as possible so we can put those memories behind us quickly.
