Report: Man United join three-way Premier League tussle for 19-goal sensation

Manchester United are interested in signing the Levante striker Karl Etta Eyong.

The 21-year-old joined the Spanish club from Villarreal during the summer transfer window, and he has been excellent for them.

Karl Etta Eyong is a huge talent

He has already produced seven goal contributions in the league. He scored 19 goals for Villarreal’s youth team last season. He is a promising talent with a bright future, and his performances have attracted the attention of the top Premier League teams.

As per Football Insider, Tottenham and Chelsea are interested in the 21-year-old as well. It will be interesting to see if the three clubs decide to formalise their interest in the player with an official proposal at the end of the season. Levante have just signed the player, and they will not sanction his departure in January. It will be difficult to convince them to sell the player in the summer of 2026 as well.

Manchester United need another quality striker, and Eyong could be a solid long-term investment. He could form a solid partnership with Benjamin Sesko. The 21-year-old is young enough to improve further, and he could develop into a future star for the club. The move to the Premier League would be a massive opportunity for the young attacker, and it could help him improve further.

Regular football in England could accelerate his development and help him fulfil his potential. Manchester United have done well to groom young players over the years, and they could play a key role in his growth.

All three Premier League clubs have the financial muscle to get the deal across the line, and it will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds. Convincing the striker to move to England might not be too difficult. However, it will be difficult to convince Levante to sell him anytime soon.
