Sources: Everton ready to 'prise' Kelvin Yeboah away in January, move is 'realistic'

Everton view Minnesota United striker Kelvin Yeboah as a realistic January target; the 26-year-old has scored 18 goals in 32 MLS games this season.

Everton are hoping to sign Minnesota United striker Kelvin Yeboah in January, according to sources. The 26-year-old Italian has impressed in MLS this season with 18 goals and four assists from 32 games. With his contract running until December 2027, Everton view him as a realistic and relatively affordable option compared to European alternatives.

Manager David Moyes is keen to add a striker to the squad in January, though Everton's transfer budget remains uncertain following The Friedkin Group's decision to put the club up for sale. Yeboah is seen as an attractive prospect precisely because he may not command the premium of a top European league player, allowing Everton to potentially negotiate a deal at the cheaper end of the scale.
