According to &#8216;Mundo Deportivo&#8217;, the player has decided to turn down a lucrative offer from CSKA Moscow in order to continue waiting for an opportunity at the Spanish club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Currently at Levante, the 22-year-old centre-forward caught the eye at the start of the season with a strong run of form in attack, but has since lost his place and seen his form dip over the last few months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even in a dip in form, Eyong chose to turn down a multi-million-euro contract from Russia, believing he can still achieve his goal of playing for Bar\u00e7a, especially following Robert Lewandowski\u2019s departure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A self-confessed fan of Samuel Eto\u2019o, the young striker views a potential move to the Catalan club as his top priority and is even willing to start out as a substitute under manager Hansi Flick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Cameroonian striker turned down a multi-million-pou [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2137,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2136","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2136","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2136"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2136\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2138,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2136\/revisions\/2138"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2137"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2136"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2136"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2136"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
