Arsenal Step Up Pursuit of Levante Striker Etta Eyong as Barcelona, Man United Monitor

Levante maintain there will be no January sale, pushing suitors toward summer pre-agreements under FIFA’s two-club rule.

Overview

  • Levante CEO José Danvila says the club rejected a €30m bid and has received no Premier League offers, confirming the striker will not be sold this winter.
  • FIFA regulations prevent Eyong—who has played for Villarreal and Levante this season—from appearing for a third club until next season.
  • Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea have scouted the 22-year-old, West Ham have made an initial enquiry, and Barcelona and Real Madrid are tracking his form.
  • Reports in England suggest Arsenal hope to wrap up a January agreement and leave Eyong at Levante for the rest of the campaign.
  • Eyong has six goals and three assists in LaLiga after a €3m move from Villarreal, with valuation reports indicating a variable clause in the €30m–€40m range.
