One of the players that the Blaugrana are closely tracking at the tournament happens to be Levante striker Etta Eyong. The 22-year-old Cameroonian striker started the tournament with the only goal of the game in his team's win over Gabon. However, as it so happens, Eyong was not the only player who happened to catch the eyes of the Blaugrana scouts in the game.
FC Barcelona sporting director Deco continues to place strong emphasis on the scouting department to identify and monitor young talents with potential across the globe. Since the start of the ongoing season, the Blaugrana have had scouts present at major tournaments worldwide, such as the Under-20 World Cup held in Chile, which ended with Morocco's victory. More recently, Barcelona had a presence at the Under-17 World Cup in Qatar, where they identified Egyptian striker Hamza Abdelkarim and are close to signing him.
