he was our best CF in Barca U-19 before Dongou arrived..

last year he had an injury, Dongou was promoted & scored 47 Goals, this is why Etock spent most of the time last season on bench..
Oscar Garcia (Barca U-19 coach) used to rotate between Dongou & Rafinha ( Thiago's Brother) on CF.. Rafinha who is a midfielder, played a a false 9 in some matches( especially in Copa & Champions cup final) were he played big games...

Conclusion: Etock was 3rd choicelast season after Dongou & Rafinha.. This doesn't mean he was not gd.. but last season Dongou & Rafinha had Big improvement & Etock chances of making B Team than First team decreased.. this could be the real reason behind leaving Barca..

anyway, gd luck for him!!

Apparently Barca didnt renew the contract so Chelsea snapped him up. Our first transfer of this summer. And its said that he would go to Sporting Lisbon straight away on loan.

Tbh not many of us have seen him (since segunda division games are hard to catch outside of Spain), but he's very young, so it can't be too bad a move. I'd try YouTube too.
