It’s no secret that FC Barcelona want to sign a new striker in 2026, given the almost certain departure of Robert Lewandowski when his contract expires at the end of the season.

In recent months, it has been reported that Karl Etta Eyong is on the list of priority targets, with the Levante star putting in some very impressive performances in La Liga.

Etta Eyong already has six goals this season, and her performances have not escaped Barça. According to GiveMeSport, he reacted to the interest shown in him by clubs.

“I’m really flattered (to be associated with FC Barcelona). This means a lot to me because it proves that my hard work is paying off. But I just have to continue my journey with Levante and we will see what the future holds for me. »

Etta Eyong: I want to play in the Premier League

Interestingly, Etta Eyong revealed that he wants to join a Premier League club in the future, having already fulfilled his dream of playing in La Liga.

“I have already achieved my dream of playing in La Liga and my other dream is to one day play in the Premier League. I believe I have the potential to flourish in the Premier League and that my style of play is perfectly suited to English football. I am physically strong and able to combine effectively.

“I love watching Premier League games. My favorite time is Boxing Day. We see the players giving their all, 200%! What I like about the Premier League is that every match has a special importance. But for now I’m just focusing on Levante and ignoring everything else. »

Eyong dreams of playing under Maresca at Chelsea

He also revealed that his preference would be Chelsea, a club he followed a lot during his childhood.

“Growing up, Chelsea were probably the English team I watched the most, thanks to Drogba, and Eto’o played a season there as well. Chelsea have often signed incredible African players. There are so many big clubs in England, but as for joining Chelsea, why not? It would be a dream for me to play for Chelsea. »
