Clean sheets

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 90.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.28 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 49.5, Yirenkyi carries the 1st-highest potential of the full-backs in the Superliga (top 3%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.37 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
