Everton, Sunderland and Crystal Palace are reportedly monitoring Minnesota United striker Kelvin Yeboah after his impressive scoring form in Major League Soccer attracted interest from clubs in England and across Europe.

The 26-year-old has scored 18 goals in 32 MLS appearances this season, adding four assists to establish himself as one of the division's most productive forwards.

According to talkSPORT, the three Premier League clubs are among those keeping track of Yeboah ahead of the January transfer window, with several European sides also understood to be interested.

The Italian-born forward is reportedly keen on a return to European football after joining Minnesota from Genoa in 2024.

Yeboah has previously played for clubs including Sturm Graz, Augsburg and Montpellier, and would welcome another opportunity to test himself in a major European league.

Everton are particularly keen to strengthen their attacking options, with David Moyes looking to add competition and support for striker Thierno Barry.

Football Insider has reported that the Merseyside club regard Yeboah as a realistic January target, although any potential move would depend on Minnesota's willingness to negotiate.

The striker is under contract with the MLS club until December 2027, meaning Minnesota are in a position to demand a transfer fee rather than risk losing him for nothing.

Sunderland and Crystal Palace are also assessing their options in attack, and could provide competition if Everton decide to pursue a deal.

Yeboah has an additional connection to English football through his uncle, former Leeds United and Ghana forward Tony Yeboah, who became a Premier League cult figure during the 1990s.

The younger Yeboah's performances in the United States have now put him on the radar of several clubs, with the January window potentially offering a route back to European football.
