Ipswich Town have opened negotiations with Spanish side Levante over a potential deal for highly rated Cameroonian striker Etta Eyong, as interest in the forward continues to grow ahead of the new season.
Eyong, who has attracted attention with his performances in Spain, is understood to be keen on securing a move to the Premier League, viewing it as the next step in his development. Ipswich have moved quickly to position themselves at the front of the queue, initiating talks with Levante in recent days.
However, the newly promoted side are not alone in their pursuit. Everton have also registered interest in the striker, setting up the possibility of a transfer battle between the two English clubs.
Levante, aware of the increasing demand for their forward, are holding firm on their valuation, with reports indicating they are seeking a fee in the region of £25 million to £30 million. That price tag reflects both Eyong’s potential and his growing reputation as one of the more promising attacking talents on the market.
For Ipswich, the move signals clear intent as they look to strengthen their squad for the challenges of Premier League football. Meanwhile, Everton’s involvement could complicate negotiations, particularly given their greater experience at the top level.
With the player open to a move and multiple suitors circling, the coming weeks are likely to prove decisive in determining where Eyong will play his football next season.
