Brighton & Hove Albion have emerged as strong contenders in the race to sign FC Nordsjælland’s highly-rated Ghanaian midfielder Caleb Yirenkyi, as Premier League interest in the 19-year-old continues to grow.
The Seagulls are not alone in their pursuit, with AFC Bournemouth also monitoring the progress of the talented teenager, who has quickly established himself as one of the standout young players in Denmark’s Superliga.
Yirenkyi joined Nordsjælland from the renowned Right to Dream Academy and remains under a long-term contract until 2030, placing the Danish club in a strong negotiating position. Despite his tender age, the midfielder has shown remarkable maturity, combining technical quality with tactical intelligence in the heart of midfield.
His rapid rise has also been reflected on the international stage. Yirenkyi has already earned eight senior caps for Ghana, underlining the high regard in which he is held by the Black Stars’ technical team.
During the current Superliga campaign, he has made 17 league appearances, contributing one goal and four assists, performances that have not gone unnoticed by Europe’s top talent scouts. Reports in November suggested Nordsjælland could value the midfielder at around £20 million.
With Brighton continuing to build a reputation for developing young talent and providing a clear pathway to first-team football, a move to the Amex Stadium could prove attractive. However, with Bournemouth also in the mix, the battle for Caleb Yirenkyi’s signature is shaping up to be one of the most closely watched transfer stories involving a Ghanaian prospect in recent years.
