Coventry are finalizing a £23m fee with Danish side Nordsjaelland for the Ghana international, who impressed during the Black Stars' World Cup campaign and scored the winning goal against Panama in the group stage. The deal will be a record for the Danish top flight and comes after the promoted side has already spent almost £60m on winger Loum Tchaouna, defender Aurèle Amenda and goalkeeper Carl Rushworth this transfer window.
Yirenkyi, who was named young player of the year in the Danish league last season, will travel to Coventry in the coming hours to complete his move. The 20-year-old's signing continues Coventry's ambitious transfer strategy as they prepare for their return to the Premier League. afnews.co.za
