Ghana’s Terry Yegbe reveals failed Premier League move in January window

Ghanaian international Terry Yegbe has revealed that a move to the English Premier League collapsed during the January transfer window.

The 24-year-old centre-back was on the radar of several Premier League clubs following an impressive spell with Swedish side IF Elfsborg, but the deal failed to materialise.

“At Elfsborg, everything went well,” Yegbe told Flashscore in an interview. “The first year was great. I almost got a move to the Premier League in January, but it didn’t happen. Still, I told myself I’d keep working. It’s all part of the process.”

Following the failed move, Yegbe secured a summer transfer to French Ligue 1 outfit FC Metz, signing a four-year deal that runs until 2029.

Since joining Metz, the Ghanaian defender has become a mainstay in the team, making eight league appearances so far this season.

Having settled quickly into French football, Yegbe will be hoping to maintain his fine form and continue his rise in European football.
