Coventry sign Ghana's Yirenkyi for record fee

Coventry City has signed Ghana midfielder Caleb Yirenkyi in a club-record 27m euros (£23.1m) deal, plus an additional 3m euros (£2.5m) in add-ons. The 20-year-old, who made his international debut in May 2025 and scored a stoppage-time winner in the World Cup, joins Coventry as part of head coach Frank Lampard's summer signings.

Yirenkyi, a product of the Right to Dream academy, previously played for Danish side Nordsjaelland and won the Danish Superliga's young player of the year award last season. Known for his versatility, he can play as a midfielder or at right-back, and has been highly regarded in the Danish league. Coventry City's acquisition of Yirenkyi is expected to bolster their squad with a talented and promising young player.
