La Liga
FC Barcelona continues to expand its radar of young talents, and in recent hours, a name has emerged that is catching the attention in the club's offices: Etta Eyong, Cameroonian forward from Levante UD.
At just 21 years old, the striker has become one of the major revelations of the early season in La Liga EA Sports, showing a level of maturity and goal-scoring ability that few expected.
Etta Eyong, the forward catching Barcelona's eye
His signing by Levante was one of the most talked-about operations in recent weeks. The Granota team paid 3 million euros to Villarreal CF to secure his services, a sum that now seems even low considering the immediate impact he has had. In just five matchdays, Etta Eyong already has 3 goals, demonstrating a lethal ability in the area and an adaptation that surprises for a recently arrived player.
This performance has not gone unnoticed by Deco, Barcelona's sporting director, who tried to sign him during the last transfer window. The operation, however, fell through at the last moment, allowing Levante to get ahead. Now, Barça does not want to lose track of him and has him marked in red in their future agenda.
His age is a key factor. At 21 years old, Eyong still has a lot of room for growth, and his profile fits the Blaugrana philosophy of betting on young talented players with potential. Additionally, taking him from Levante would not entail a huge investment, making the operation a realistic possibility for future transfer windows.
Barcelona's circle values his offensive versatility. Etta Eyong is not just a goal scorer but also a player with mobility, intelligent runs, and the ability to link up with teammates. These characteristics make him compatible with different schemes and could offer Hansi Flick an interesting alternative for the club's offensive rotation.
Currently, he is not a priority for Barça, which has other open fronts, especially in positions like right-back or Robert Lewandowski's replacement. However, Eyong's performance compels them to closely monitor him throughout the season, assessing if he maintains consistency and the ability to make a difference in a more demanding context.
For Levante, Eyong's emergence is a blessing. Not only does he contribute goals and vital points in their pursuit of objectives, but his market value skyrockets with each matchday. The Granotas know that if he maintains this level, the Cameroonian will be one of the most significant sales in the club's recent history.
The future will tell if Barcelona decides to take the final step. What is clear is that Etta Eyong has entered Barcelona's agenda, and his name will continue to ring loudly in the upcoming months.
