Kelvin Yeboah in action with Pierre Sage on sideline right inset
Yeboah's fine form in the MLS has seen numerous Premier League clubs register an interest in his signature.
He is the nephew of former Leeds forward Tony, but the Elland Road outfit are not among those keen on his services.
Palace could be in the market for a new striker in January given their attacking struggles under Pierre Sage so far this season.
As I revealed on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Transfer Insider podcast, 26-year-old Yeboah is a target for the Eagles but they face competition from other top-flight sides.
Everton are known to be keen on his services, while Ipswich are also eyeing the Italian striker to aid their Premier League survival bid.
Kelvin Yeboah is admired by Crystal Palace alongside Everton and Ipswich
Yeboah has 18 goals and four assists in 32 MLS appearances for Minnesota so far this season.
Palace are the league's third-lowest scorers up to now, and Jean-Phillippe Mateta and Jorgen Strand Larsen have just one goal between them in the top flight since August, so a new addition may well be needed in January.
Speaking on the Transfer Insider podcast, I explained: "My understanding is that the three Premier League clubs that are probably most interested in Kelvin Yeboah right now are Everton, Crystal Palace and Ipswich. They're the ones that are keeping tabs on the Minnesota United striker.
"There is an opportunity for a number of Premier League clubs to strike because he’s going into the final 13 months of his contract, expiring in December 2027, and he has done very well for Minnesota. I’m sure there’ll be interest from those clubs I mentioned, probably in January."
Yeboah is chasing a dream of playing in the Premier League
Yeboah clearly has plans to emulate his uncle, but may instead be lining up for an opponent at Elland Road in the near future.
The Minnesota striker admitted in a February 2026 interview with Gianluca DiMarzio that he harbours ambitions of featuring in the English top flight at some point soon.
He said: "I dream of the Premier League...it is my biggest objective. I believe that type of football is also the most suitable for me. I hope one day I can afford myself a ticket to play in that league. Physically, [MLS] is similar to the Premier League, whereas in Serie A they concentrate mainly on tactics."
