Karl Etta Eyong: the Cameroonian refuses to go to Russia

Karl Etta Eyong is enjoying a strong season with Levante UD. Having joined from Villarreal CF, the 22-year-old Cameroonian striker has netted five goals and provided an assist in 19 matches.

According to several reports, Levante has received an offer exceeding €30 million from CSKA Moscow. The Spanish club is apparently ready to accept the deal. However, the player has turned down the move to Russia, preferring to wait until the summer, when several major clubs are expected to closely monitor his situation.
