Overview

  • Spanish TV show El Chiringuito, cited by UK outlets, reports Everton have approached Villarreal to explore a deal for Eyong.
  • Villarreal manager Marcelino regards Eyong as a first-team player and the club is not actively selling at this stage.
  • Eyong, a 21-year-old Cameroon prospect, scored in Villarreal’s season-opening win over Real Oviedo after a prolific year with the reserves.
  • Reports indicate he is tied to Villarreal until 2027, with a mooted fee around €5m and a Transfermarkt valuation near £4m.
  • Everton’s recruitment drive under David Moyes continues after signing Thierno Barry from Villarreal, with more attacking options sought before 1 September following an opening defeat at Leeds.
