Ghana’s Rising Rock: Premier League Clubs Circle Terry Yegbe After Stellar Season in Sweden
Terry Yegbe’s football journey is quickly becoming one to watch. The 24-year-old Ghanaian centre-back has emerged as a hot prospect following a breakout season with Swedish side IF Elfsborg, where his commanding presence and consistency have not gone unnoticed.
After joining from Finnish outfit SJK Seinäjoki, Yegbe slotted seamlessly into Elfsborg’s backline, racking up 22 league appearances, scoring three goals, and providing an assist — a notable contribution for a central defender. His performances weren’t limited to domestic action either. Yegbe featured in 12 Europa League matches, earning praise for his composure and strength on the European stage.
His rise has sparked a wave of interest from top-flight clubs across Europe. In the Premier League, Brighton & Hove Albion, Fulham, Crystal Palace, and Sheffield United are all reportedly monitoring the Ghanaian’s progress. Meanwhile, Bundesliga sides Union Berlin and Freiburg have also entered the race for his signature.
Elfsborg have placed a €5 million valuation on the defender. Though the interest is mounting, Yegbe is said to be content in Sweden for now and isn’t pushing for a move.
On the international front, his hard work has paid off. Yegbe recently earned a maiden call-up to the Ghanaian senior national team, the Black Stars, stepping in as a late addition for the 2025 AFCON qualifiers against Angola and Niger. This comes after representing the Black Meteors at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
With his star clearly on the rise, Terry Yegbe might soon be making headlines in one of Europe’s top leagues.
