Newcastle winger Minteh: Everything going well with Feyenoord

Newcastle winger Yankuba Minteh feels he's improving during his loan at Feyenoord.

Minteh signed for Newcastle earlier this year from OB before being loaned this season to Feyenoord.

“Everything is going well so far at Feyenoord," Minteh told nufc.co.uk. "It's a good team and I am surrounded by good people so it's been a positive start - the standard of football here is very good and I'm trying to work as hard as possible everyday in training and matches.

“The coaches and players in the squad have given me a lot of advice and tried to help me a lot. If I don't understand something, they are there to explain it to me so I fully understand what they want.

“I feel I'm developing a lot both on and off the pitch. Playing in Holland is different to Denmark because it's a lot bigger with a different culture and there's a lot of top players in every position on the pitch.

"That was something I found hard when I first arrived but I think I'm coping with it and I've been able to take my chance in the team. I feel I'm getting stronger everyday, both physically and mentally."
