Yaw Yeboah Joins LAFC, Teams Up with World Cup Winner Olivier Giroud
Ghanaian international Yaw Yeboah has made a significant move in his Major League Soccer (MLS) career, joining Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC) from Columbus Crew on a free transfer. The versatile 27-year-old, known for his ability to play as a winger, attacking midfielder, and wing-back, has signed a two-year deal with LAFC through 2026, with an option to extend to 2027.
This move sees Yeboah teaming up with 2018 FIFA World Cup winner Olivier Giroud, who recently joined LAFC. The Ghanaian brings a wealth of experience and success to his new club, having won the MLS Cup in 2023 and the Leagues Cup in 2024 with Columbus Crew. He was also instrumental in helping Crew finish as runners-up in the 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup.
“Yaw is a dynamic and versatile player with MLS experience and success, qualities that fit well with our team,” said LAFC Co-President & General Manager John Thorrington. “We are excited to welcome Yaw and his family to Los Angeles, confident he will help us achieve our ongoing goal of winning trophies.”
Yeboah has earned four caps for Ghana’s national team, the Black Stars, and his arrival is expected to bolster LAFC’s roster as they aim for continued dominance in MLS and beyond.
