Bournemouth eye Ghana international, 19, dubbed 'next Michael Essien' - amid Man United and Liverpool's interest in £65m Antoine Semenyo

Bournemouth are exploring a move for Ghana international midfielder Caleb Yirenkyi who has drawn attention from Premier League rivals including Arsenal and has been compared to ex-Chelsea star Michael Essien.

The 19-year-old, who is being valued at around £20million, is another graduate of the Right to Dream Academy in Ghana and is impressing in the Danish Superliga with Nordsjaelland.

He started out as a right-sided midfielder and even made his national team debut at right-back but he is revelling in a holding midfield role which has alerted Premier League scouts over recent months.
