Arsenal exploring move for 22yo Cameroonian star alongside Man Utd
Arsenal are looking into a possible move for Levante forward Karl Etta Eyong, according to journalist Ben Jacobs.
The 22-year-old has emerged as one of the names on the club’s radar as plans begin to take shape ahead of the summer window.
The Gunners are already laying early groundwork for their next transfer period, with a focus on adding more quality in attack.
Arsenal have also been linked with several forwards across Europe, including Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez.
Those links point to a clear aim from the club to improve their options in the final third. Eyong has become a player of interest after drawing attention for his displays with Levante and Villarreal this season.
The Cameroonian forward has impressed with his strong presence inside the box and his ability to trouble defenders.
Eyong’s rise and impact at Levante
This season, Eyong has recorded six goals and three assists in 16 La Liga appearances. Those numbers underline his growing influence and his ability to deliver in key moments.
At just 22, he has already started to attract interest from some of the biggest clubs in Europe.
Eyong combines pace and strength, allowing him to hold off defenders and attack space behind the backline.
His performances have not gone unnoticed, with several clubs monitoring his progress closely.
Arsenal’s attacking plans and competition
Arsenal already have Viktor Gyökeres, Kai Havertz, and Gabriel Jesus leading the line under Mikel Arteta.
Despite those options, the club may still feel the need to add another centre forward to the squad.
Gyökeres has found it hard to fully settle into the league since he arrived at the club last summer. There have also been reports linking Jesus with a possible move away from Arsenal.
These factors could push the Gunners to explore further depth in attacking areas. Eyong is seen as a player who could offer a different option through his blend of strength and speed.
His game mixes classic striker traits with the movement of a modern forward. He can lead the line or play across attacking roles, giving coaches tactical flexibility.
Arsenal are not alone in the player’s pursuit, as per Jacobs. Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Manchester United are also monitoring Eyong for the coming summer.
That level of competition shows how highly Eyong is rated across Europe. For now, Arsenal’s interest remains at the stage of exploration as summer plans continue to develop.
