Why should the fans be excited?
Yeboah’s proven success in MLS is a big reason. During his three seasons with Columbus Crew, he scored six goals and provided 13 assists in 93 appearances.
He played a vital role in Columbus’ 2023 MLS Cup and 2024 Leagues Cup triumphs.
LAFC’s co-president and GM, John Thorrington, shared his excitement:
“Yaw is a dynamic and versatile player with MLS experience and success, qualities that fit well with our team.”
Yeboah’s journey to MLS is equally impressive. Before joining Columbus Crew, he showcased his talent in Europe with Wisła Kraków (Poland), FC Twente (Netherlands), and Lille (France).
Internationally, he has earned four senior caps for Ghana and represented his nation in the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup. His international experience has shaped him into a versatile and tactically astute player.
Fans can expect Yeboah to shine in LAFC’s high-intensity, fast-paced system. His ability to adapt to offensive and defensive roles makes him a critical addition as the team faces a packed 2025 schedule.
The Concacaf Champions Cup kicks off on February 18 against Colorado Rapids, followed by the MLS opener against Minnesota United on February 22. Yeboah’s arrival is perfectly timed to support the team’s trophy ambitions.
LAFC’s signing of Yeboah shows a smart and strategic approach. By adding a proven MLS player, they reduce risks and increase potential success. Yeboah’s consistency, versatility, and strong work ethic make him a great fit for LAFC’s goal of winning more trophies.
