Arsenal Lead Race for Levante Striker Etta Eyong as Premier League Interest Grows

Any January deal would leave him at Levante until summer due to eligibility rules.

Overview

  • Arsenal are reported to be in front of Barcelona and Real Madrid for Eyong, with plans discussed to secure an agreement in January for a summer arrival.
  • Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea have scouted the Cameroon international, and West Ham have made an initial enquiry, but no Premier League club has tabled a meaningful offer.
  • Levante chief executive José Danvila says the club has received no Premier League calls, confirmed a €30m bid was rejected, and reiterated Eyong will not be sold this winter.
  • FIFA’s two-club rule means Eyong cannot play for a third team this season, steering suitors toward pre-agreements or a sign-and-loan-back setup.
  • Eyong has six goals and three assists this season after a €3m move from Villarreal, with a variable clause understood to range from €30m to €40m drawing wider LaLiga and Premier League attention.
