Ghanaian defender Caleb Yirenkyi has been named the Danish Superliga Young Player of the Month for August, capping off an impressive start to the 2025/26 season.

The 19-year-old FC Nordsjaelland star edged out teammate Prince Amoako Junior and a strong shortlist that included Thomas Jorgensen, Clement Bischoff, Bismarck Edjeodji, and Hjalte Bidstrup to secure the award.

Yirenkyi has been in outstanding form, registering one goal and two assists in seven league games. His attacking contributions were highlighted just before the international break, when he scored in Nordsjaelland’s comeback win over OB.

The versatile youngster’s rise has also extended to the international stage. He featured in both of Ghana’s 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers this month, playing a key role against Chad and Mali.

Yirenkyi will now switch focus back to club duty as Nordsjaelland prepare to face Midtjylland on Sunday, September 14 in a crucial Superliga clash.
