Yankuba Minteh has been nominated for Premier League player of the month award for February.

Fabian Hurzeler believes there is more to come from his wing ace Yankuba Minteh.

The 20-year-old Gambia international had a fine February with two goals and an assist in the Premier League, which earned him a player of month nomination.

Across 22 league games this season he has contributed five goals and three assists, with five of those goal involvements coming since mid-January.

“First of all, the nomination is deserved,” said Hurzeler. “But it is also important to understand that these small achievements only come by team achievement, by team success. It’s very important that everyone understands that you will shine as an individual when the whole group and the whole club has success.”

Hurzeler believes Minteh has improved since coming back into the squad after missing five games in October and November through injury.

“I'm happy with his development, especially how he reacted after his injury. He worked hard to come back like this. He improved, especially out of possession, and now he's getting more and more aware of the danger in the opponent's box.

“So we are quite happy, but we still see a lot of improvement. It's very important for him to stay humble, to stay grounded, and to keep working hard. Because there's still a lot of potential and still a lot of things where he can improve and helps the team even more.”
