Manchester United are interested in signing Levante attacker Karl Etta Eyong, rivalling the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona for his signature.
The Red Devils are looking for a fourth straight Premier League win on Saturday afternoon, with their trip to Nottingham Forest giving them a good opportunity to achieve that goal.
For Ruben Amorim, it has been quite the turnaround in recent weeks, with the Portuguese under immense pressure before the victories over Sunderland, Liverpool and Brighton.
It’s now a case of United being ruthless, however, and getting the better of a Forest side sitting in the Premier League relegation zone, although it may be a slightly trickier task now that Sean Dyche is in charge at the City Ground.
The Red Devils’ new attacking signings have thrived so far this season, especially Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, but that’s not to say that added depth isn’t needed in that area of that pitch. With that in mind, the English giants have now been linked with a move for an exciting young player.
Man Utd want to sign £35m Karl Etta Eyang
According to a new front page report from Mundo Deportivo [via Sport Witness], Manchester United want to sign Levante star Eyong, with the striker also a target for Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Manchester City and Arsenal are seen as potential suitors for the 22-year-old, too, with the calibre of clubs keen on him outlining what a talent he is. He has a £35m release clause in his current deal for Premier League clubs.
Eyong is hot property for a reason currently, having scored five goals in just seven La Liga appearances so far this season, as well as being praised for being “on fire” by scout Jacek Kulig.
Man Utd also targeting a shock move for Vinicius Jr with price tag revealed
The two-cap Cameroon international is a centre forward by trade, and with Rasmus Hojlund potentially joining Napoli permanently at the end of the season, and Joshua Zirkzee’s future far from certain, the Levante ace could be considered strong competition for Benjamin Sesko.
United need to be in a position where they are signing the brightest attackers in the game, as was often the case under Sir Alex Ferguson – and if they managed to pip the likes of Madrid and Barca to Eyong’s signature, it would be a big statement of intent.
