Levante striker Etta Eyong is drawing interest from multiple Premier League clubs, talkSPORT understands.
Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea have all scouted the Cameroon international, although none of the trio have made a meaningful move yet. West Ham United have also made an initial enquiry.

Eyong has six goals and three assists this season for Levante. Only Kylian Mbappe (13 goals, 2 assists) has more goal contributions in LaLiga leading Barcelona and Real Madrid to also track his progress. Barcelona are seeking a long-term heir to Robert Lewandowski.
Harry Kane is another name discussed by the defending LaLiga champions, despite the fact he turns 33 this summer.
Eyong, who is sometimes compared in style to Erling Haaland, only joined Levante in September from Villarreal for €3m. He scored one of his LaLiga goals for his former club before his Levante move.
That means a January exit is not possible as players are not permitted to turn out for three clubs in a single season.

Suitors could try and pre-agree a deal for the summer this winter in order to get ahead of the market.
Arsenal are in the market for a young No.9 next summer, especially with Gabriel Jesus' future unclear and Mikel Merino being utilised as a makeshift forward.
Manchester Untied are also open to adding another attacker next year. Joshua Zirkzee could yet depart Old Trafford in 2026, but it remains to be seen whether United opt for a more experienced name.
Chido Obi is highly-rated by the club and United are keen not to stifle his first-team pathway.
With Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha starting to make an impact, United are confident they have the firepower to make a push for Europe meaning their pursuit for another striker is likely to occur in the summer not January unless a market opportunity presents itself.
Chelsea are always opportunistic to young talents in the market but are currently content with Liam Delap and Joao Pedro upfront. Marc Guiu is viewed as an important squad player and a pre-agreement is already in place for Strasbourg's Emanuel Emegha.

That means Chelsea are well-stocked with forwards.
West Ham are urgently looking for a striker, ideally in January. Nuno Espiro Santo wants a target man and Eyong's profile is understood to be of appeal. But the Hammers would have to wait until summer.
West Ham are also one of the clubs alert to a mid-season opportunity to sign Ivan Toney in case the Al-Ahli striker becomes available.
Eyong is valued at in excess of €30m and it is believed he has a variable release clause starting at this number and potentially rising as high as €40m.
Levante have already turned down a €30m offer from CSKA Moscow. The club's chief executive officer, José Danvila, told Radio Marca Premier League clubs are yet to make any offers.
“We haven’t had any calls from the Premier League," said Danvila. "We received one firm offer for the player, but it has already been rejected. I’m reading many stories about Etta, and it’s true there is growing interest, but he's not going to be sold this winter.”

Eyong is likely to be one of the most in-demand strikers in 2026, especially if his scoring form continues at Levante, who stand to make over 10 times the €3m paid just two months ago.
