Newcastle" buys a promising African © „Reuters“

“Newcastle United” team scouts hope they have found a football gem in Denmark.

Journalist Fabrizio Romano reports that "Magpies" have agreed to sign Odense OB forward Yankuba Minteh for 7 million euros.

However, before the deal is officially confirmed, the 18-year-old Gambian will still need to undergo a medical examination and obtain a work permit in England.

Y. Minteh spent only one season in Denmark - he arrived in the country last year from his hometown club "Steve Biko."

In eight Danish Superliga matches, the African scored 2 goals.
