Karl Etta Eyong is the talk of the town. The 21-year-old striker, who joined Levante from Villarreal in recent times, has impressed all with his quick goals and rough performances. Presently, Premier League giants Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on getting him.
Karl Etta Eyong: From Villarreal to Levante
On September 1, 2025, Levante officially signed Villarreal midfielder Etta Eyong for around €3 million, and he agreed on a contract until June 2029.
Levante also had a right of first refusal and a share in a future sale.
Etta Eyong stated that he chose Levante because of a crave for minutes on the pitch and a chance to develop.
Strong Beginning in La Liga
Since making the switch, Etta Eyong has impressed. He has already netted goals and provided assists in his early games. He scored on debut for Levante ten minutes after being subbed in. He had also netted previously for Villarreal that same season prior to his switch. In total, he now has around 4 goals and 3 assists in La Liga.
Interest From England
Due to his solid start, English clubs have been paying attention. Spanish media sources such as Fichajes indicate Chelsea, Manchester United, and Tottenham are keeping close tabs on him.
Tottenham allegedly made an offer already, according to the sources.
Chelsea, on the other hand, have registered official interest too.
Tottenham believe Etta Eyong would bring pace, danger in front of goal, and versatility to their attacking lineup.
Competition for the forward positions, injuries, and the necessity to revamp the team at Spurs make him a desirable option.
What Lies Ahead
At 21, Etta Eyong is young and in formative years. But his early impact in La Liga is a pointer to great potential. Chelsea and Tottenham will need to make concrete offers—sporting and financial—to prize him away. Levante, on their part, will wish he stays and continues his hot streak, helping them in La Liga.

It will be interesting to see whether one of these Premier League teams manages to sign him—and whether Etta Eyong can maintain this form at an even higher level.
