Everton’s U-turn on shock Newcastle United transfer confirmed after ‘agreeing’ £17m deal

Newcastle United are looking to offload Yankuba Minteh before the July 1 deadline for a fresh FFP/PSR three-year cycle

Everton are close to signing Marseille forward Iliman Ndiaye – making a move for Yankuba Minteh unlikely.

Newcastle United are looking at offloading the 19-year-old talent despite an impressive season on loan at Feyenoord. FFP/PSR restrictions continue to govern the Magpies’ thinking and, in an ideal world, he would be staying on Tyneside.

But Toon chiefs must raise funds before the balance sheet begins a new three-year period on July 1. Minteh – yet to play in black-and-white stripes – will reportedly be used as bait despite outlining his desire to play for Newcastle.

“Ultimately, the Premier League is my goal,” he said earlier this year. “Newcastle United is the club that have a lot of confidence in me. I have no idea what the future looks like.”

The Magpies reportedly want £30million for the Gambia international – a fee that repelled interest from Everton. Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s move to Newcastle breaking down due to the £37million was also a hurdle.

Everton appear to have moved on swiftly, with The Guardian reporting that they have agreed a deal for Ndiaye. The Senegalese international can play as a No.10 or out wide – occupying a similar role to Minteh.
