Everton linked with January move for Minnesota's Kelvin Yeboah
The situation
Everton are being linked with a January move for Kelvin Yeboah, the Minnesota United striker, as David Moyes looks to add attacking cover behind Thierno Barry. The clubs' Premier League window does not open until 1 January 2027 and shuts a month later, so nothing can be completed before then. Reports suggest talks, or at least contact, are live, with one claiming Everton fear Minnesota United could raise their price given how thin Everton's striker options are.
The reporting
TEAMtalk first reported it on 2 November, calling Everton the leading Premier League suitor and citing a €7m figure. Football Insider followed with pieces on 3 and 4 November describing the move as realistic and later raising the asking-price concern, and those lines were then relayed again by Transfer News Live and CaughtOffside, so several outlets are repeating one or two original claims rather than adding fresh detail. No trusted reporter has backed any of it, and every outlet carrying the story is a tabloid or an aggregator.
The outlook
That sourcing pattern, combined with twelve months still left on Yeboah's contract and no confirmed bid, makes this a longshot for January. Everton would need to move fast once the window opens, Minnesota United would need to accept a fee close to what is being talked about, and somebody with a stronger reputation for accuracy would need to confirm it.
What happens next
Yeboah is valued at €4m today, well below the €7m figure floated by TEAMtalk, a gap that alone could stall things. Watch for an actual bid once the January window opens, or confirmation from a source with a firmer track record.
