Shouts 'Yes!' accepting fifty quid (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yells

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'shouts' is the definition.
(yelling is a kind of shouting)

'yes accepting fifty quid' is the wordplay.
'accepting' is an insertion indicator (inserted letters are accepted).
'fifty quid' becomes 'll' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'yes' placed around 'll' is 'YELLS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for yells that I've seen before include "Screams" , "Shouts loudly" , "Cries out" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
