Reliable reports are saying that Etta Eyong is in talks with Levante after Villarreal reached an initial agreement for the midfielder. The proposed move has moved a step closer, with personal terms currently being negotiated between club and player. Final confirmation is still pending but momentum is clearly building and there is optimism that a deal will be struck in the coming days. While Real Betis and Barcelona have shown interest, Levante currently lead the race - though the situation could evolve if a deal drags on. In season 25/26, Levante are conceding 2.0 goals per game (14 in 7 games), which points to a lack of control in midfield. Etta Eyong would be expected to calm things down and protect the back line better. Reports suggest Villarreal are monitoring Christoph Baumgartner, Ruben Vargas and Arnau Tenas whereas Levante have not been associated with other players at this stage.
