21-year-old Cameroonian forward Karl Edouard Blaise Etta Eyong was on target for Villarreal on Wednesday afternoon for the second pre-season game in a row as his club beat Premier League giants, Arsenal by 3-2.
Goals from Etta, Nicolas Pepe and Arnaut Danjuma Groeneveld for Villarreal had only two replies from Christian Nørgaard and Martin Ødegaard characterized the five-goal thriller as Arsenal lost the second consecutive pre-season game.
The goal from Etta is his second on English soil in under a week, having scored against Leeds United FC in another pre-season game a few days earlier.
The striker raised at Galactidque Academy in Douala-Cameroon has been a true revelation for his La Liga club as they prepare for a new season, during which they will be participating in the UEFA Champions League.
In just 62 minutes against Arsenal, Etta was a real menace for the Gunners and scored from his only shot on target – further highlighting his accuracy in front of goal.
Etta could end up being a main source of goal this coming season for the Yellow Submarines who are noted for producing some great strikers over the years.
Having proved his worth in the reserves team last season, Etta now looks set to announce himself in the big stage when the new La Liga season gets underway in August.
With the help of experienced African descent forwards like Nicolas Pepe and Arnaut Danjuma Groeneveld at the club, Etta could be in the running to have a brilliant first full season in the Spanish La Liga.
