Reports suggest Arsenal are closely monitoring La Liga striker
La Liga striker turns heads at Arsenal
La Liga is already hearing the name of Etta Eyong. He had an incredible season start and was able to net six goals and assist three within ten games. His finesse and composure on the pitch have attracted the eyes of not just the Premier League teams but also the likes of Barcelona.
At the same time, Barca considers him to be a possible and even superior substitute for Robert Lewandowski. The confidence and the desire of Eyong have been factors that made him one of the most remarkable young forwards in Spain this year.

Gunners’ growing interest and the road ahead
As per reports, Arsenal are still considering the possibility of getting Eyong to enhance the squad. The very second the winter transfer window opens, they will attempt to acquire him, even if it is a gamble. He has to remain till the subsequent season to be qualified for participating with a new club.
As he has already made appearances for two clubs in one season and FIFA rules apply. That means any deal would likely involve him signing in winter and finishing the season on loan at Levante.
His current release clause sits around £26m in Spain. Meanwhile, PL clubs would need to pay closer to £35m to bring him in. For Arsenal, it’s a calculated risk. The North London side are investing early in a player who could be worth much more if his form continues.
Author’s opinion:
Eyong perfectly matches Arsenal’s latest strategy. The Gunners focus on young players with potential at the latest stage before their price shoots up considerably.
The North London club will likely try to get a contract with him before their European competition. If that happens, it just might be one of the most smart moves in the winter transfer window.
