Manchester United have been scouting Levante forward Karl Etta Eyong

Manchester United have been scouting Levante forward Karl Etta Eyong, according to journalist Ben Jacobs.

The Red Devils are scouring Europe for the best players available as they look to strengthen across all departments, and the Cameroon international has caught their eye.

Man United bolstered their attack during the summer transfer window, adding Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko to their ranks.

Etta Eyong, who has been dubbed a ‘born finisher‘, is now on their radar. Real Madrid and Barcelona are also monitoring him.

The 21-year-old bagged 19 goals and six assists in 30 appearances for Villarreal B in the third tier of the Spanish football league system in 2024-25. He has notched five goals and three assists this term.

He made his debut for Cameroon yesterday, playing alongside Mbeumo in a World Cup qualifier against Mauritius.

Etta Eyong’s strengths include his aerial brilliance, finishing, passing and defensive contributions, and his style fits into manager Ruben Amorim’s system.

It is unclear whether Man United will make a move for him in January, with Joshua Zirkzee linked with a potential mid-season exit.

Etta Eyong joined Levante a few months ago, and they are unlikely to be open to selling him during the winter transfer window.

However, a summer deal next year cannot be ruled out, but Man United could find it tricky to sign him if he continues scoring at this rate.
