Newcastle United

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

[8] In late October 2023, he picked up a muscle injury, missing several weeks as a result. [9] On 13 December, he scored his first UEFA Champions League goal in a 2–1 away defeat against Celtic in the final group stage match of the 2023–24 season, in which he became the second Gambian to achieve this feat following Ebrima Colley. [10]

On 7 April 2024, he scored a brace and provided an assist for his club in a 6–0 victory over Ajax in De Klassieker, to be their opponent's worst defeat in the Eredivisie history. [11]
