The 20-year-old Ghanaian impressed at the World Cup, scoring the winning goal against Panama. He was named young player of the year in the Danish league last season and is a product of the Right to Dream academy.
Yirenkyi's Profile and Potential
Yirenkyi has been with Nordsjælland since 2024 and has drawn interest from Brighton and Everton. Coventry manager Frank Lampard has consulted his former Chelsea teammate Michael Essien, now a coach at Nordsjælland, about the midfielder's abilities. The deal is set to be a record for the Danish top flight.
Crystal Palace's Move for Zavier Gozo
Crystal Palace are closing in on an £11m transfer for 19-year-old Real Salt Lake player Zavier Gozo. The USA youth international, who has represented his country up to under-23 level, is expected to complete his move to south London after being left out of his side's game due to an 'excused absence'.
Gozo is viewed as a potential successor to Daniel Muñoz at right wing-back. Palace need cover after Nathaniel Clyne's departure and the sale of Danny Imray to Wrexham for £5m. New manager Pierre Sage is also looking to strengthen his squad with several more signings.
