Feyenoord loanee Minteh: Ameobi in regular contact; I've not yet visited Newcastle!

Feyenoord loanee Yankubu Minteh admits he's yet to visit Newcastle United.

Minteh was signed by Newcastle over the summer before being loaned to Feyenoord.

He told AD: “I have never seen the city myself. The club immediately indicated that I would go to Feyenoord on loan. The club brought all kinds of people over to the Netherlands to ensure that my first weeks went well.

"For example, I often have contact with (loan manager) Shola Ameobi, he sometimes sends images and tells me what I can do better."

Minteh continued, “In that respect, my development is going nice and fast, because Feyenoord also works with images in that way. After every match I get to see what the areas for improvement are."

Asked about extending his stay into second season, he added: “I hear that there are people who hope that I will stay longer. But that's looking far ahead. It is clear that I like it here. I feel the appreciation of the trainers and supporters. And I feel that I am developing myself under this trainer. It happened quickly."
