Sunderland AFC are reportedly pushing hard to secure the signing of highly-rated Levante forward Karl Etta Eyong as they look to strengthen their attacking options.

The 22-year-old Cameroon international has attracted significant attention following his impressive performances in Spain. Sunderland have identified Eyong as a potential addition capable of bringing pace, power and versatility to Regis Le Bris’ attack.

Reports suggest personal terms are not expected to be a major obstacle, but negotiations with Levante remain the key issue. The Spanish club have a significant release clause attached to the player, reportedly around £26 million, while Sunderland are understood to be exploring the possibility of agreeing a lower overall package.

Eyong’s ability to operate both as a forward and in a deeper role makes him an attractive option for Sunderland. The Black Cats believe his attacking qualities could become even more effective if he is given a more advanced role.

With the transfer window approaching its deadline, Sunderland are working quickly to determine whether a deal can be reached. Levante are also facing the possibility of losing the player before the window closes.

If Sunderland can complete the agreement, Eyong could become an exciting addition to the squad and provide another attacking option for the club’s Premier League campaign.
