Chelsea have entered the race to sign FC Nordsj\u00e6lland\u2019s Caleb Yirenkyi this summer. <\/strong><\/p>\n The Ghana international\u2019s development and performances for both the club and country haven\u2019t gone unnoticed.<\/p>\n Chelsea are the latest club to show interest in the 20-year-old, and he fits their transfer policy.<\/p>\n That\u2019s according to Bold, relayed by PL Bold, who state the Premier League side have joined the battle for the midfielder.<\/p>\n It\u2019s not common for the English club to look at the Danish market. Therefore, the outlet says their interest in Superliga star is a \u2018transfer bomb\u2019.<\/p>\n Caleb Yirenkyi moved to Europe when FC Nordsj\u00e6lland signed him from Right to Dream academy in 2024. He played 52 matches, mainly in the middle of the pitch, but occasionally as a defensive midfielder and a centre-back.<\/p>\n He also starred at the World Cup, scoring two goals in the group stages, which has seen him attract more clubs.<\/p>\n Chelsea are showing interest, and the Ghanian fits their policy of buying young talents.<\/p>\n The Danish club have already rejected multiple offers from unnamed clubs but may not be able to retain him beyond this summer.<\/p>\n The report claims Nordsj\u00e6lland would need DKK 200m (\u20ac26.75m) to sell. This should be affordable for the Premier League side.<\/p>\n In December, Sport Witness relayed news that Brighton & Hove Albion had identified him as a replacement for Carlos Baleba. It\u2019s unclear whether the Seagulls are still keen.<\/p>\n The Danish club are in Sweden to face GAIS in the UEFA Conference League qualifiers later today.<\/p>\n FC Nordsj\u00e6lland manager Jens F\u00f8nsskov Olsen talked about Caleb Yirenkyi during his press conference, and Thursday\u2019s edition of G\u00f6teborgs-Posten relays his comments.<\/p>\n \u201cHe is back and ready to play. He had a very good experience at the World Cup with his country. We are very proud of him,\u201d<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n \u201cHe has the whole package, so to speak. Yirenkyi dominated the league last season. He is technical, strong and has a good physique. He can play in almost every position in the team.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Chelsea agree with that sentiment and the Blues have identified their latest transfer target.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Chelsea have entered the race to sign FC Nordsj\u00e6lland\u2019s Caleb Yirenkyi this summer.
