Ghana midfielder Caleb Yirenkyi has become the most valuable player at Coventry City after a strong start to his first season in the English Premier League, the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation reported.

The latest valuation by the CIES Football Observatory puts the 20-year-old's worth at between €33 million and €39 million (about £27.5 million to £32.5 million), moving him ahead of teammate Sidiki Cherif in the club's rankings.

Yirenkyi joined Coventry from the Danish club FC Nordsjaelland in the summer in a deal reportedly worth €27 million (£23.1 million), with up to €3 million more in performance-related add-ons. His new valuation is about £9.4 million above the reported initial fee.
