Arsenal Monitoring Nordsjaelland’s Caleb Yirenkyi as Bournemouth Weigh Move

Reports put the 19-year-old Ghana midfielder’s price near £20m, with interest framed as scouting rather than an active bid.

Overview

  • Arsenal are reported to view Yirenkyi as a longer-term prospect, with no guarantee of immediate minutes given their current midfield depth.
  • AFC Bournemouth are also tracking the teenager and are seen as a potential route to quicker first-team action.
  • Yirenkyi has been used across roles, starting as a right-sided midfielder, filling in at right-back for Ghana, and recently operating as a holding midfielder for Nordsjaelland.
  • Michael Essien, now an assistant at Nordsjaelland, is mentoring Yirenkyi, whose style has drawn media comparisons to the former Chelsea and Ghana star.
  • This season he has 14 Danish Superliga appearances with one goal and two assists, and there have been no confirmed offers reported.
