Fiorentina are tracking Hapoel Petah Tikva striker Gael Etock.

The former Barcelona B attacker, who came close to joining Chelsea two years ago, has attracted the attention of major European clubs this season.

Lille, Villarreal and Fiorentina are all monitoring the Cameroon forward.

Etock, 22, thanks to his time with Barca, carries an EU passport.

He was regarded as a hot prospect upon leaving Barca, but injuries have stalled his development until this season .
