Etta Eyong strikes again as Levante climb the La Liga table
Karl Edouard Blaise Etta Eyong continues to make waves in Spain’s top flight. The 21-year-old Cameroonian forward scored his fourth goal in five La Liga appearances to help Levante secure a 2-0 away victory over Real Oviedo.
His second-half goal came after Oriol Rey’s curling shot struck the post and rebounded perfectly into Eyong’s path, leaving him with a simple finish from close range. The win lifts Levante higher up the La Liga table and extends Etta Eyong’s remarkable start to life at the club.
From Villarreal to Levante
Etta Eyong joined Levante from Villarreal on September 1, 2025, in a deal valued at around €3 million. The forward signed a contract through 2029, choosing the move in search of regular playing time and a larger role in attack something that had become increasingly difficult at Villarreal amid strong competition.
Since his arrival, the Douala-born striker has impressed with both his work rate and efficiency in front of goal. In his first three appearances for Levante, he tallied one goal and two assists. Combined with his early-season contributions at Villarreal, Etta Eyong now boasts five goals and three assists in eight La Liga matches this campaign.
Standout Performances
Etta Eyong’s consistent form has quickly established him among the league’s most promising forwards. His combination of intelligent movement, composure in the box, and relentless pressing has drawn praise from analysts across Spain. A standout performance came in Levante’s 4-0 victory over Girona, where he scored and assisted in a dominant display.
Statistically, his early output places him among La Liga’s top scorers — trailing only Atlético Madrid’s Julián Álvarez and Kylian Mbappé, the current leader on the scoring chart.
Cameroon National Team Opportunity
After shining at club level, Etta Eyong is now set to take his next big step on the international stage. He has received his first senior call-up from Cameroon head coach Marc Brys for the crucial 2026 World Cup qualifying matches against Mauritius and Angola.
Previously capped at the U-23 level, Eyong is expected to bring his sharp finishing and energy to a Cameroon side desperate for wins to stay alive in Group D. The forward has also clarified that he has never declined a call-up, reaffirming his full commitment to representing his country.
