Tottenham have shown interest in Samuel Iling-Junior, who hasn’t been able to crack the rotation in the first portion of the 2023/2024 season. In addition, his contract expires in 2025. The two sides recently held talks to discuss Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and touched on the youngster as well, TuttoSport relays.
The 20-year-old has played just 112 minutes through 4 appearances so far. He has been outshined by Andrea Cambiaso, who got the call when Filip Kostic didn’t start.
Despite the situation, Juventus value Iling-Junior €20M, so Tottenham would have to spend big for a rather unproven player. The two sides could perhaps arrange a swap with Hojbjerg, but the Spurs aren’t in a rush to sell him. The Bianconeri haven’t zeroed in on any midfielder after probing a few.
The attacker is no longer playing with the Next Gen squad this campaign. He has amassed 22 appearances, 1 goal, and 3 assists with the first team in the last couple of years.
Our Take on Juventus, Iling-Junior, and Tottenham
As a pure winger, he’s the most hurt by their scheme, and he has to adapt to one of the few positions where they have okay depth. They should loan him to see what he could do with more opportunities, as they did with Matias Soulé. But it can’t be ruled that the brass will seek a plusvalenza, considering his contractual situation, to raise much-needed funds.
