Author of 6 goals and 3 assists in 12 La Liga games this season, Karl Etta Eyong is attracting the attention of FC Barcelona, who are following him to strengthen their attack next season and possibly replace Robert Lewandowski, but also of Real Madrid. The Cameroonian striker, currently at Levante, remains focused on his performances and prefers not to be distracted by rumors about his future, even if he is proud of the interest from the two Spanish big names.
“For now I have to continue with Levante and we will see what happens. I try not to look at my phone too much because my friends are calling me to tell me all the rumors about my future. I tell them “I don’t know anything, I was just playing PlayStation”. I would much rather play Call of Duty, watch anime or read history books than deal with rumors. If I have to take a big step, it will only happen if I put in a lot of effort”he explained in an interview with GiveMeSport. The 22-year-old also spoke about his role models and ambitions, citing two players linked by FC Barcelona. “Samuel Eto’o is the best, and I learned a lot from Robert Lewandowski”he said, before admitting that he wants to play in the Premier League one day.
