Genoa have officially signed Italy Under-21 international hitman Kelvin Yeboah on a permanent transfer from Sturm Graz, the nephew of ex-Leeds United striker Tony Yeboah.
The 21-year-old was born in Ghana, but moved to Italy at the age of four and has two caps for the Azzurrini at Under-21 level.
He went to Austria in 2018 and reached Sturm Graz in February 2021, making a huge impact with 14 goals and 10 assists in just 28 competitive games this season.
“We are very happy to have brought back to Italy a player who was very attractive on the market, young but already with a lot of experience and excellent statistics over the past few seasons,” Genoa director Johan Spors told the club website.
Sky Sport Italia report the fee was agreed at €6.5m for the permanent transfer of Yeboah to Marassi.
He plays primarily as a centre-forward, but can also work on the right or left of a trident attack under coach Andriy Shevchenko with the Rossoblu.
Kelvin comes from a football family, as his uncle is former Ghana, Leeds United, Eintracht Frankfurt and Hamburg striker Tony Yeboah.
