Newcastle United had great success when they sent Yankuba Minteh to the Eredivisie last season.
The Gambian winger enjoyed an incredibly successful loan spell at Feyenoord, so much so that it ended up helping Newcastle United get out of their PSR nightmare.
Following Yankuba Minteh’s performances in the Netherlands, the Magpies sold him to Brighton And Hove Albion for £33million.
Eddie Howe was gutted to see Minteh go, but a departure was necessary given Newcastle’s PSR situation. In truth, it was a good job he did so well at Feyenoord, otherwise Newcastle never would have got the kind of money they did for him.
Jamie Carragher has already suggested that Newcastle will regret selling Minteh, even if his departure was enforced.
Newcastle send another player to the Eredivisie
Minteh’s loan spell in the Eredivisie was extremely successful, and now Newcastle are hoping to repeat the trick with Miodrag Pivas.
After joining the Magpies this summer, the Serbian defender has signed for Willem II on loan for the 2024/25 season.
The 19-year-old has a lot of potential, and Willem II’s technical director Tom Caluwé has spoke to their official website about the arrival of Pivas from Newcastle.
