Everton will look to sign 26-year-old Italian striker Kelvin Yeboah from MLS club Minnesota United in the January transfer window.

According to a report by TEAMtalk, Kelvin Yeboah is also the subject of interest from Sporting CP. The update has added that several Premier League and European clubs are closely monitoring the 26-year-old Minnesota United striker’s situation at the MLS club.

However, per TEAMtalk, Everton and Sporting CP are the front-runners to sign the Ghana-born centre-forward heading into the January transfer window. The report adds that bids are “anticipated in January as they look to strengthen their forward line for the second half of the season”.

Who is Kelvin Yeboah?

Kelvin Yeboah has resurrected his fortunes since joining Minnesota United from Genoa in July 2024. The 26-year-old, who was born in Ghana before spending his formative years in Italy, struggled for stability until then, having represented clubs in Belgium, England, France, Italy, and Austria without succeeding anywhere.

However, Yeboah has been excellent in MLS, scoring 40 goals and providing eight assists in 88 appearances thus far. The former Italian youth international has enjoyed an exceptional 2026 MLS campaign, having accumulated 18 goals and five assists in 32 league outings. Those exploits have piqued the attention of several well-known clubs, and a return to Europe is likely.

Premier League move on the horizon?

Everton’s interest in Kelvin Yeboah is understandable.
