Meet Coventry’s new midfield powerhouse tipped to thrive by Essien

One story sums up Caleb Yirenkyi. It was a training session with the first team early in his time at FC Nordsjaelland. Alexander Riget, then technical director, felt compelled to intervene. “He was smashing into many of our key players,” Riget tells Sky Sports.

Such was the ferocity, the coach could not take the risk. "I needed to say, 'Caleb, get out,' just so he could calm down a little bit and find out how to use his energy." It is an amusing anecdote now. But it reveals something about Coventry City's new signing.
