Coventry City paid £30m for Caleb Yirenkyi, once on Porto's radar | OneFootball

Coventry City, who recently secured promotion to the Premier League, officially announced the signing of Caleb Yirenkyi on Friday night. The 20-year-old Ghanaian midfielder leaves Nordsjaelland, a club with which he had even been linked to FC Porto.

Although the clubs have not disclosed the transfer fee, the English press reports that the deal was agreed at a fixed €27 million, with a further €3 million possible depending on the achievement of sporting objectives.

If confirmed, this fee makes Caleb Yirenkyi Coventry City’s most expensive signing ever and one of the biggest sales in the history of the Danish league.

“I’m excited to be at this club. I’ve heard a lot about it and I’m really optimistic about being here. When I spoke with the head coach about the plans and the style, I realized it’s something I really like, and I’m eager to learn from him,” Caleb began by saying in remarks to the club’s official platforms.

“I want to give my best for the team every day. I’m still young, so I want to learn from the head coach, from the other players, and work hard for the team. I’ve also heard a lot about the fans — they’re incredible and I can’t wait to play in front of them,” he added.

The midfielder recently represented Ghana at the 2026 World Cup under Portuguese coach Carlos Queiroz. This season, he has already played in four official matches for Nordsjaelland and is now preparing to move to the Premier League, where he will be managed by Frank Lampard.
