Arsenal are planning to move quickly in their chase of Cameroon striker.
Cameroon international on Arsenal radar
Mikel Arteta together with his recruitment team are tracking Levante’s Karl Etta Eyong closely. He is seen as one of La Liga’s up-and-coming stars. Since his move from Villarreal, the player scored five goals and assisted three in just seven games.
His quick finishing, speed, and coolness in front of the goal have caught eyes not only from Arsenal but from Man City and Man United as well. Nevertheless, the Gunners look set to take an early step before the rivalry gains ground.
Although, Arsenal at present has a very strong attacking team, the club’s scouts trust that Eyong would be a valuable long-term addition. His movement would fit right into Arteta’s playing style. In addition, he is still young means he can be seen as a future investment rather than a quick fix.
🚨🇨🇲 Etta Eyong (22) has interest from Barcelona, Real Madrid, Man City, Man United & Arsenal. The striker wants to leave in the January window and remain on loan at Levante for the rest of the season, reports @mundodeportivo.

Affordable deal on the table
The reports coming from Spain indicate that the amount specified in Eyong’s release clause is nearly €40m (£35m). That is a number that Arsenal can easily afford.
Eyong’s rise in Spain has not only put him in the limelight but also made his name a hot topic among the most promising young strikers in Europe. It could be that the timing of Arsenal’s decision to make a move on their interest soon will play a significant role in whether they win this transfer battle or let a starlet go.
Author’s opinion:
Eyong seems to be a player that would perfectly fit the PL. His performance, price tag, and age are setting him up as an option with low risk and high potential. If Arsenal take the initiative, they might get the chance to sign one of the huge talents of Europe in the future.
