Yankuba Minteh (born 22 July 2004) is a Gambian professional footballer who plays as a winger for Eredivisie club Feyenoord, on loan from Premier League club Newcastle United, and the Gambia national team.

Minteh started his career at Steve Biko FC in The Gambia.

In the summer of 2022 he moved to Danish club OB.

He made his Danish Superliga debut on 10 September 2022 in a 2–1 win against Copenhagen and scored the winning goal just three minutes after coming on as a substitute for Franco Tongya.

On 12 June 2023, Premier League club Newcastle United announced that they had reached a deal to sign Minteh, effective 1 July 2023.

Media reports claimed that Newcastle would pay OB a fee in the region of €7 million.

Simultaneously, Newcastle also announced that upon his arrival, Minteh would be immediately loaned out to Eredivisie champions Feyenoord for the 2023–24 season.

Minteh made his debut for the club on 4 August in the 2023 Johan Cruyff Shield.

He scored his first goal for the club on 3 September, scoring the fifth goal in a 5–1 away win against FC Utrecht.

In late October 2023 he picked up a muscle injury, missing several weeks as a result.

On 4 November 2022, Minteh received his first call-up to the Gambia national team for friendly matches against DR Congo and Liberia.
