Fabian Hurzeler says Yankuba Minteh remains committed to Brighton

Summary

Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler confirmed that winger Yankuba Minteh remains focused on the club after Brighton rejected multiple transfer offers from Liverpool. The Premier League side turned down bids of £50 million and £60 million, reportedly holding out for a valuation closer to £70 million. Despite the failed move, Hurzeler expressed confidence that Minteh can still achieve his career goals by continuing his development at Brighton. The Seagulls successfully raised funds elsewhere in the window, including the sale of Carlos Baleba to Manchester United for £70 million. Following those transactions, the club finalized a £15.5 million deal for midfielder Chema Andres from Stuttgart. Hurzeler indicated that both Minteh and the new arrival remain key figures as the squad prepares for their upcoming Premier League fixture against Leeds.
