Carlos Queiroz on FC Porto target: “He could be among the best” | OneFootball

Carlos Queiroz praised Caleb Yirenkyi without reservation, and believes the Ghanaian midfielder, who has been linked with FC Porto, has the potential to, with time and accumulated experience, reach the level of the best players in the Ghana national team.

The Portuguese coach spoke after the friendly against Wales, a match in which the midfielder reportedly targeted by Porto scored in the 1-1 draw against that national side, reinforcing the belief that the 2026 World Cup could be decisive for his breakthrough on the international stage.

At the end of the match, Carlos Queiroz had strong praise for the young midfielder, highlighting the combination of quality and room for improvement. «He is a player with a great future, still young, with many things to learn, because at this level everything has evolved so quickly that players need to have talent and also experience. I believe that this young player, with more games under his belt and more experience, can become one of the best players in the Ghana national team,» said the coach.

Queiroz’s words come as a clear seal of approval in a case that had already been closely monitored at the Dragão, where Caleb is seen as a midfielder with great range, an eye for getting into the box, and a modern box-to-box profile.

At the same time, the visibility he could gain at the 2026 World Cup, reinforced by the coach’s public comments, promises to intensify the race for the Ghanaian even further, in a context in which Denmark’s Nordsjaelland value him at around €30 million.
