In the Admiral Bundesliga all Red Bull Salzburg players naturally attract a lot of attention, but they are not the only ones worth watching and keeping under the radar. One of those footballers to watch out for in this league is Kelvin Yeboah .
Yeboah is a young player of the year 2000 who plays as a center forward for Sturm Graz, currently second in the competition. He was born in Italy, but he also has a Ghanaian passport. In principle he has chosen to defend the colors of his country of birth and has already made his debut in September with the U21 in the qualifying phase for the next European Championship in the category.
He joined his current team in the middle of last season after having a good first half of the season at Wattens Tirol where he surprised locals and strangers with his great ease in finding the rival's goal and finishing the plays. After the adaptation period in that second round, this season he is being one of the best players in the Admiral Bundesliga with six goals and two assists in the first eight days of the competition.
His best position is that of center forward and in this position he has found a place with Janstcher at Sturm Graz. A couple who understand each other perfectly in every way. But in addition to there, Yeboah, due to his characteristics, can play on the far right, overflowing a lot and taking centers on natural footing. If we had to define Yeboah in a few words, we could speak of him as a mobile player, with a good reading of space, fast in both movements and thoughts and with a great nose within the area.
He is continually moving throughout the attack zone, being a nuisance for the centrals who in most cases cannot follow him on the mark and in the end he ends up winning the position. If we add to this mobility that devilish speed at the moment of throwing the uncheck, they make him a very leathery player and if you try to give him meters he kills you on the run.
It might seem with these characteristics that he is a player who refuses the ball and that he is more to define in the final meters, but it is not like that. At no time does the Italian avoid driving from positions further back than the center forward or looking one against one facing the defender, taking advantage of his ability to dribble and overflow in the different areas of the field.
He does a lot of damage with falls on the wing or 3/4 opening space for teammates, hence, as we said before, he gets on perfectly with his partner on the line of attack. Both he and Jantscher feed off each other in every way, each taking advantage of the other's strengths for their own benefit. But without a doubt what Yeboah is standing out for is his ability to make shots and goals.
His movements in the area to find the shot detonate that he has a good reading of the game since he always knows where and when to be to get the most out of the play. He is a forward who achieves an average of 4.4 shots per game, a good amount, achieving 2.4 shots on goal in each game. The star of the competition, Karim Adeyemi, who has a goal more than Yeboah, shoots less than him, 2.9 shots per game. Those numbers show us that he is a player who despite all his mobility when shooting in the area is confident and finds the shot easily.
Without a doubt, Kelvin Yeboah is a player to consider this season and for the future, since at 21 he has a long career ahead of him. This campaign at the moment he is looking forward to competing for the top scorer trophy until the end. We will see what numbers the competition ends with.
