This story is actually crazy… imagine attending a trial in your local town as a child and it leads to Michael Essien becoming your mentor. 🌍😮‍💨

Caleb Yirenkyi got scouted by the Right to Dream Academy in Ghana aged 9 and progressed all the way through to the FC Nordsjælland first team, with the Danish club being a part of the ‘Right to Dream’ community, and now he's set to represent his country on the biggest stage. 🇬🇭🇩🇰

What makes this story even better is that Michael Essien works as a coach at FC Nordsjælland so Caleb gets to learn from him every day… so sick to see a Ghana legend helping to build the next generation of stars. 🤝

Essien even says he sees glimses of his younger self in Caleb… the football world needs to pay serious attention to him this summer. 🔥
