Aston Villa are working on an ambitious move to sign highly-rated Barcelona striker Jean Marie Dongou on-loan for the rest of the season.
Dongou, 18, is a graduate of Barca’s impressive youth system where he has scored goals for fun in recent seasons.
The Cameroon Under-20 international has been nicknamed ‘the new Samuel Eto’o’ because of his power and pace – and Villa hope to be able to bring him until the end of the campaign.
Paul Lambert has earned a reputation for developing young talent, and he hopes that will convince Barca to let Dongou move to Villa Park. snap
