Yankuba Minteh has revealed the Premier League stars who are inspiring him for his new challenge with Albion
The Gambia winger scored fine goals in pre-season wins against Kashima Antlers and Tokyo Verdy.
He will hope to maintain that form when Albion visit QPR today (3pm).
Minteh expects to make an impact in the Premier League and cites former Liverpool forward Sadio Mane among his idols.
He told The Argus: “The way he’s humble and the way he helped his family and the country.
“The way he plays also, I really love it because he’s down to earth and then I think every African player wants to learn from him because the way he is amazing.
“And then N’Golo Kante also, because he is humble and quiet.
“All he does is like his job, play football on the pitch and then he also smiles sometimes but sometimes he’s like serious.
“I really love that from both of them.”
