Kelvin Yeboah Transfer: Crystal Palace and Ipswich Join Everton in Race for Minnesota Striker
Kelvin Yeboah has emerged as a January target for several English clubs after a prolific MLS season. Crystal Palace and Ipswich Town have reportedly joined Everton in monitoring the Minnesota United forward, according to Football Insider.

Yeboah’s MLS Form Attracts Premier League Interest
The 26-year-old Italian has netted 18 goals and provided four assists in 32 league outings, reaching 23 goal contributions in all competitions. Leeds United, despite a family link through his uncle Tony, are not currently pursuing him.
His contract runs until December 2027, which could give suitors a chance to negotiate a more affordable fee.
Why Crystal Palace Need a New Striker
Palace rank among the division’s lowest scorers, with Jean-Philippe Mateta and Jorgen Strand Larsen managing a single league goal between them since August. Mateta’s future at Selhurst Park is also uncertain, which strengthens the case for fresh recruitment.
Everton and Ipswich Also in the Mix
Everton lack senior striking options under David Moyes and view Yeboah as a realistic alternative to costlier European targets. He has previously named the Premier League as his main ambition, which could prove decisive.
Our Take
Eighteen MLS goals show consistency, but the jump to English football is considerable. Palace and Everton must be sure he can cope with the intensity, while Ipswich may offer the clearest path to regular minutes. Whoever lands him will need to impress both Minnesota and the player.
