To spot, notice, or lock eyes on someone with special interest. When you fichar someone, you're marking them mentally — in soccer it means scouts have noticed talent; in social settings it means someone caught your eye.

Example

"The rival team already has their eye on him."

"She clocked you the moment you walked into the bar."
