2026 Fantasy Outlook
Etta Eyong was one of the surprise packages of the La Liga season, the young Cameroon striker plundering six goals and two assists in his debut campaign after arriving on a long-term deal at Levante in September. That is excellent output for a 22-year-old on a lower-half side, and it has predictably drawn attention, with reported Premier League interest and a price tag around 30 million pounds floated this summer. For now, he remains a Levante player and their most dangerous attacker, so if he stays, he is the obvious fantasy pick from this squad, a genuine goal threat with room to improve. The clear risk is that he moves before the window shuts, which would change the picture entirely. Assuming he is still at Levante, he is a strong, well-priced forward with upside, as he is likely to earn far more starts than the 15 from last campaign.
Could return next week
Etta (thigh) continues to participate in partial team training and could return to competitive action next week, according to coach Luis Castro. "Etta is training partially, I think he can return next week."
ANALYSIS
Etta is progressing in his recovery from a right rectus femoris injury, having recently resumed warmups and non-contact exercises alongside his teammates. Although the forward has yet to return to full training, manager Castro's latest comments suggest he could be available for selection as early as next week if his recovery continues without setbacks. Etta recorded six goals across 30 La Liga appearances last season, and his eventual return would provide Levante with an additional attacking option. Ivan Romero could continue leading the attack in the meantime, with Etta likely needing to rebuild his match fitness before competing for a starting role.
