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.
