Villas-Boas on Yirenkyi: “He’s been on the radar since last year…” | OneFootball

On the sidelines of a visit to the FC Porto Supporters' Club in Monção, André Villas-Boas clarified the interest in midfielder Caleb Yirenkyi, a 20-year-old Ghanaian linked with Nordsjaelland. Last season, the youngster recorded six assists and two goals in 34 matches for the Danish club, a performance that earned him a call-up for the 2026 World Cup.

“He is only a player being monitored by FC Porto, very difficult to sign because of the clubs’ financial demands. It is a bad time to work the market because, normally, the demands are very high. (…) Therefore, it is still at a very early stage.”

“He is a player who has been on our radar since last year and has generated a lot of interest, particularly from Premier League clubs, but we have made no offer for him,” he explained this Friday.

Speaking to journalists, the Dragons’ president also ruled out the possibility of signing striker Lewandowski.

“Social media fuels unrealistic dreams. At the appropriate time, we will announce whoever we have to announce,” he concluded.
