Everton are among the clubs tracking Minnesota United forward Kelvin Yeboah ahead of the January transfer window, according to TALKSPORT, with Sunderland and Crystal Palace also mentioned as likely suitors in what could become a competitive chase for attacking reinforcements.
The 26-year-old has put together an eye-catching campaign in MLS, scoring 18 goals this season and placing himself firmly back in the conversation for a return to Europe. For Everton, that detail matters. Reliable goals have been difficult to secure consistently, and the profile of a striker already showing sharpness, confidence and productivity naturally commands attention when mid-season planning begins.

Kelvin Yeboah Emerges on Everton Radar
Yeboah arrives in this conversation with a background that offers a degree of familiarity to English audiences, given his family link as the nephew of former Leeds favourite Tony Yeboah. More importantly for recruitment teams, he also brings prior European experience after spells with Sturm Graz and Genoa. That gives interested clubs a body of work to assess beyond MLS numbers alone.
The indication is that Yeboah is keen on returning to Europe, a factor which can often accelerate discussions once the window draws closer. Everton’s inclusion in the mix suggests the club are scanning the market for options who may be obtainable, motivated and capable of improving the front line without drifting into the sort of fee bracket that makes a winter deal unrealistic.
January Transfer Window Could Suit Everton
January business is rarely straightforward, particularly for clubs seeking goals. Selling sides hold leverage, proven strikers are expensive and short-term desperation can distort value. Everton therefore need clarity in profile and price. Yeboah may appeal because he appears to sit in a useful middle ground, experienced enough to contribute, hungry enough to embrace the move, and productive enough to justify serious scouting attention.
