The young Gambian winger Yankuba Minteh is enjoying a sensational start to the 2025/26 Premier League season. At just 21, he already boasts one of the best dribble success rates in the English top flight.

The numbers speak for themselves since the season kicked off: 19 dribbles attempted, 14 completed. That’s an impressive 73.7% success rate—the best in the league among players who have attempted at least ten dribbles.

But his impact goes beyond that. In 5 matches and 413 minutes on the pitch, Minteh has scored 1 goal, provided 1 assist, created 2 big chances, and delivered 7 key passes. He’s also making his mark defensively, with 8 successful tackles to his name.

With the ball seemingly glued to his feet and a remarkable consistency, Minteh is already emerging as one of the most promising wingers at the start of this Premier League season.
