The Italian media seem to be absolutely convinced that Iling-Junior is on his way to Tottenham in January, with various outlets revealing over the last two weeks that the North London club are at the front of the queue to snap up the attacker (TuttoMercatoWeb).

Over the last couple of days, various publications have stated that the Serie A giants want €20m (£17.4m) for the England Under-21 international, which Spurs are willing to pay (Tuttosport via Sport Witness).

Spurs could get a discount on Samuel Iling-Junior

CalcioMercato have now offered more information on Tottenham’s pursuit of Iling-Junior, stating that the Premier League side are ‘ready to bet’ on the youngster.

They explain that the Lilywhites have had a long-standing interest in the winger, having explored a move for him during last summer’s transfer window as well.

The outlet asserts Juventus are ready to drop their asking price ‘by a few million’ and would be willing to sell Iling-Junior to Spurs for €18m (£15.5m).

Finally, CalcioMercato add that ‘London calls’ for the Chelsea academy graduate, with Juven planning to reinvest the money from the player’s sale on new signings.

Spurs Web Opinion

Even though the Italian media are making it seem like this is a done deal, there could still be plenty of twists and turns left in this transfer, with a month left until the January transfer window opens. I expect plenty of other Premier League sides to enter the race for Iling-Junior over the coming weeks.

Spurs contact Juventus over Samuel Iling-Junior

If TuttoSport’s latest update is to be believed, Tottenham have already reached out to Juventus to speak about a potential deal for Iling-Junior.

The report states that the Serie A giant’s asking price of €20m (£17.4m) ‘does not scare’ Spurs as the player is of ‘great interest’ to the club.

The publication adds that there is expected to be fresh contacts between the two clubs over the coming days, with Postecoglou’s men keen to ensure that the deal is on track ahead of the January window.

Spurs Web Opinion

Based on the various reports on Iling-Junior over the past week, it seems like Tottenham are in pole position and well poised to conclude the deal. 

However, the only issue that Spurs might face is perhaps the youngster having doubts over getting regular game time at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The 20-year-old might be tempted to move to a mid-table Premier League side as a stepping stone instead of joining one of the big six.

Tottenham expected to bid for Samuel Iling-Junior

Longo has now become the latest journalist to talk up the chances of Iling-Junior moving to Spurs in January.

The reporter confidently asserted on social media that Tottenham ‘will make’ an offer for the winger when the transfer window reopens.

— Daniele Longo (@86_longo) November 30, 2023

Spurs Web Opinion

Tottenham are not likely to be the only Premier League side willing to offer Iling-Junior a route back into England in January. I fear that the youngster might not look favourably on a move to Spurs if his priority is to get regular game time.

Tottenham, of course, are in the market for new players in January to add further squad depth to ease their injury problems, and a wide attacker is thought to be on the shopping list for Ange Postecoglou.

A recent report from Football Insider claimed Spurs were ready to ‘accelerate’ their pursuit of the England Under-21 international ahead of the January transfer window opening. It’s also believed the North London club were scouting Iling-Junior in the recent international break (CalcioMercato).

Will Spurs sign Samuel Iling-Junior?

Now, the youngster is covered in a number of Italian reports of late, with suggestions over where his future might lie predominantly leading back to Tottenham.

CalcioMercato claim Spurs “like” Iling-Junior, and it is thought Juventus have essentially placed the player on their transfer list ahead of the winter window.

Meanwhile, the latest from Tutto Juve suggests Juventus are pretty keen to sell Iling-Junior as they look to bring in “fresh money” to sign new players.

And finally, CalcioMercato touch on the value of the player, with a fee between €15-20m cited. The outlet claims Premier League clubs are willing, too.

Spurs Web Opinion

I’m not totally convinced on this one. Samuel Iling-Junior is a young, talented player, but I just don’t think he’s the solution to our needs. We need someone a little more experienced – still young, but with a bit more pedigree in the game.

The post Reports: Tottenham receive boost in potential pursuit of Samuel Iling-Junior appeared first on Spurs Web - Tottenham Hotspur Football News.

Spurs to accelerate move for Samuel Iling-Junior

According to the report by Football Insider, Tottenham are set to accelerate a move for the Juventus winger, who is said to be Ange Postecoglou’s dream signing.

The Australian manager wants a versatile attacker who can play on both wings and also fill in centrally if required. Postecoglou apparently believes that Iling-Junior fits the bill.

Spurs Web Opinion

Iling-Junior to Tottenham is gaining a lot of momentum but I am very doubtful the player will choose the North London club if he is looking for regular playing time.

Postecoglou might look to try and convince the player to come here. A return to England seems inevitable for Iling-Junior. He would be a good signing for Spurs but I’d still reserve my expectations for this signing to happen.

The post Report: Spurs ready to accelerate move to land Postecoglou’s ‘dream signing’ appeared first on Spurs Web - Tottenham Hotspur Football News.

Ange Postecoglou already possesses the kind of attacking roster that most managers would be envious of, but injuries to Ivan Perisic, Manor Solomon, and Richarlison have got the Spurs boss wanting more.

Enter, Samuel Iling-Junior. Apparently, Tottenham are keen on the 20-year-old winger who has been catching the eye during his time with Juventus, and it’s thought the Serie A side could be prepared to accept an offer for their player (Football Insider).

Name: Samuel Iling-Junior
Age: 20-years-old
Place of birth: London, England
Current club: Juventus
Former clubs: Chelsea
International appearances: 3 caps for England U21s (Transfermarkt)
Club appearances: 113 appearances, 21 goals at both senior and youth levels (Transfermarkt)

Samuel Iling-Junior career stats

He never made a senior appearance for Chelsea before leaving for Italy in 2020 and, understandably given his age, Samuel Iling-Junior has only made his breakthrough at Juventus within the last 12 months.

Iling-Junior made 12 Serie A appearances last season, bagging one goal and one assist, and he also featured in the Europa League and Champions League, picking up another assist in the latter (Transfermarkt).

So far this term, Iling-Junior has had to settle for a place on the Juventus bench most of the time, but he does have four appearances and one assist to his name this year (Transfermarkt). He’s also made the step up to the England U21 squad in the last couple of months, having won three caps at that level since his debut back in September.

Samuel Iling-Junior strengths and weaknesses

Iling-Junior is a good, old-fashioned left winger who likes to stay out as wide as possible, beat a full-back, and send a cross into the box. In an era defined by inverted wingers and inside forwards, it’s refreshing to see a young player taking on the out-and-out winger role like this.

As well as being a tricky customer to deal with in attacking areas, Iling-Junior has an exceptional work rate and will often be seen tracking back to help in defensive areas. He has even been used in the left-back role at times in the Juventus youth team, which shows just how versatile he can be and how high his positional awareness is.

Iling-Junior is also fairly strong and it’s not easy for defenders to muscle him off the ball. This would set him up nicely to re-enter the more physical English game. Think about the way Jeremy Doku plays for Manchester City, and you have a good idea of what Iling-Junior could offer Spurs.

The main discernible weakness in Iling-Junior’s game at this stage is his goalscoring ability. He can finish incredibly well, but the issue is in getting him into dangerous areas to be able to score. Whether he would suit Postecoglou’s preference for attackers playing high up the pitch and contributing goals is unclear, at least based on the way he currently plays in Juventus’ system.

What are people saying about Samuel Iling-Junior?

A lot of people are saying Samuel Iling-Junior fits the profile of the kind of player Spurs are looking for right now under Ange Postecoglou: young, hard-working, creative, confident.

Tactical expert, Nathan Clark claimed as much on Twitter recently, and it seems Spurs fans are keen on the idea of the signing, too. One fan said “Juventus have a history of giving us gems,” with reference to Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski, and suggested Iling-Junior could be next.

Another Spurs supporter said “€20m for Samuel Iling-Junior, would be a steal.” According to Gazzetta dello Sport, it may not even require an offer that high, with talk of €15m (£13.1m) being enough to secure the signing.

What do The Spurs Web think?

I do like the look of Iling-Junior, but I don’t know that we’ve seen quite enough of him to take that gamble on signing him right now. I know we like the idea of having young talent, but I feel like we need a bit more experience if we want a player who can walk into the first team.

How much would Samuel Iling-Junior cost Spurs?  

CalcioMercato have now become the latest publication to report on Tottenham’s pursuit of Illing-Junior, and they too back up the claim that the Serie A giants have put him in the shop window.

They say that Spurs are ‘above all’ in the race for the 20-year-old, having sent scouts to Italy to watch him ‘several times’ this season.

The report adds that the Bianconeri would be willing to part ways with the youngster if they receive an offer of €20m (£17.4m). 

It is explained that while Tottenham continue to ‘observe’ the situation, they have not made a concrete approach for the player so far.

Spurs Web Opinion

The fee will not be an issue for Tottenham while Iling-Junior’s age, versatility and homegrown status are also big ticks in his favour. The only factor that could scupper a move is if the 20-year-old prioritises regular game time and he feels he might not get that at Spurs.

TEAMtalk however have claimed that the Juventus youngster will not accept a bit-part role in his next club. It is understandable considering he is leaving the Serie A giants for game time.

Tottenham seem really keen on Samuel Iling-Junior

Italian outlet Calciomercato have claimed that Spurs sent scouts to watch the 20-year-old in action for England U-21s in their win against Northern Ireland. The report also added that this isn’t the first time Tottenham have sent scouts to watch Iling-Junior.

The report also adds that Juventus are asking for around €20 million for selling the English youngster as they prepare themselves to sacrifice some players.

Spurs Web Opinion

We seem very keen on signing Iling-Junior, as evidenced by our eagerness to send out scouts to watch him in action. The asking fee does not seem too outlandish for a player of his talent either.

However, the 20-year-old, despite wanting to move back to the Premier League, might not want to join us as he is looking for ‘regular game time’.

Considering the competition for places here at Spurs when everyone is fit, Iling-Junior is unlikely to make the move to Tottenham, unless there are playing time guarantees.

The post Report: Tottenham send scouts to watch 20-year-old on England U-21 duty appeared first on Spurs Web - Tottenham Hotspur Football News.

Iling-Junior was expected by many to be the next breakout star at Juventus but the winger has struggled for game time for Massimiliano Allegri’s side this season and there is growing speculation linking him with a return to England.

Samuel Iling-Junior wants first-team football

It has now been explained by TEAMtalk that Iling-Junior would not accept being a squad player at his next club as the main reason he is leaving Juve is to get regular minutes under his belt.

The report suggests that as of yet, Ange Postecoglou and Spurs have not offered the youngster any guarantees regarding starts, and it remains to be seen if they do so.

The publication backs up what we have heard from other sources by stating that Spurs are also eyeing moves for other wide players, including Al-Ittihad’s Jota.

Spurs Web Opinion

If Iling-Junior’s number one priority is to get regular starts under his belt, he would probably prefer to move to a mid-table club such as Fulham as I do not see Postecoglou offering him any assurances of game time.

Gazzetta dello Sport claimed last Wednesday that the Serie A giants would be willing to sell the winger for €15m (£13.1m) since he has refused to sign a new contract. 

TuttoMercatoWeb suggested on Thursday that a transfer looks more ‘probable’ for the 20-year-old after Tottenham entered the race. The Cobham graduate, who has a contract at Juventus until 2025, wants to leave the Italian giants in search of regular game time (Il Bianconero).

Juventus ‘need to sell’ amidst Tottenham interest

The Football Insider report claims that Juventus’ precarious financial situation following their Serie A points deduction means they could be forced to part ways with Samuel Iling-Junior should the right offer arrive.

Considering the interest that the 20-year-old is garnering, Juventus are holding out for an “attractive bid”. Spurs have identified him as a top target and could be willing to spend money to bring him in January.

Spurs Web Opinion

Considering Juventus’ need to sell, we can play the long game and try and get Iling-Junior at a lower fee. That said, interest from other Premier League clubs means we need to be on our toes for any situation that may arise.

A very talented youngster, Iling-Junior can help Tottenham alleviate the injury issues on the left wing. He can also deputise for Dejan Kulusevski on the right if the need arises. We must get this deal done at the right price though.

The post Report: Sources confirm Juventus could accept Tottenham offer in January appeared first on Spurs Web - Tottenham Hotspur Football News.

One of the names on the club’s radar is thought to be Iling-Junior, with several Italian outlets claiming over the last few days that the 20-year-old is likely to depart the Allianz Stadium, with Spurs being his most likely destination (TuttoMercatoWeb).

Three-man shortlist includes Samuel Iling-Junior

Football Insider have now backed up Tottenham’s interest in Iling-Junior but they say that the Juve youngster is not the only winger the North London club have identified.

They reveal that they have heard from sources at the club that Ange Posteocoglou’s men have a three-player shortlist, which the Chelsea academy graduate is part of. The report does not name the other two attackers who are allegedly on Spurs’ list.

Spurs Web Opinion

It goes without saying that Tottenham will not put all their eggs into one basket and would identify multiple targets for each position. The identity of those players would likely become clear as we get closer to the January window.

Juventus want to sell Samuel Iling-Junior in January

Bianconera News have now stated that the Old Lady might not want to miss out on the ‘opportunity’ to cash in on Iling-Junior in January, and Tottenham ‘in particular’ are keen on him.

The outlet states that Spurs are a ‘growing team with an ambitious project’ who could afford to the winger in January.

It is explained that Massimiliano Allegri’s men like the idea of selling Iling-Junior mid-season rather than waiting until next summer.

Spurs Web Opinion

Given that Tottenham’s interest in Iling-Junior appears to be concrete, I wonder if there is a possibility of a swap deal between the 20-year-old and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, with Juve evidently liking the Dane’s profile.

Tottenham see ‘huge potential’ in Samuel Iling Junior

Football Insider have claimed that the Tottenham club chiefs view the former Chelsea youth product as a player with “huge potential”. The report goes on to add that Spurs are now hoping to tempt the 20-year-old with a prospective return to his homeland.

However, TEAMtalk recently revealed that if Samuel Iling-Junior is indeed available in the January market, Tottenham are likely to face competition from the likes of Aston Villa, Fulham and Everton.

Spurs Web Opinion

Tottenham are looking at a left-winger in the aftermath of injuries to Ivan Perisic, Richarlison and Manor Solomon who are all set to be out for significant periods.

Despite having Brennan Johnson and Bryan Gil, they could do with someone who can play on the left but also fill in on the right if required. Iling-Junior fits the bill.

Whilst the prospect of playing under a charismatic manager like Ange Postecoglou might be enticing for the 20-year-old, if he is leaving Juventus for “regular playing time”, he might prefer a move to the likes of Fulham or Everton over Tottenham or Aston Villa.

Competition intensifies for Samuel Iling-Junior

However, TEAMtalk have now alleged that Spurs are by no means the only Premier League side exploring a move for Iling-Junior ahead of January.

The outlet explains that Everton and Fulham have now joined in the race for the Chelsea academy graduate while Villa are also monitoring the situation closely. It is suggested that the winger might thus face a big decision on who to join in January.

Spurs Web Opinion

While the prospect of working with Postecoglou at a club of Tottenham’s stature would be appealing to Iling-Junior, the 20-year-old might prefer to join Everton or Fulham if his priority is to get regular game time.

Departure likely for Samuel Iling-Junior in January

TMW have now asserted that an Iling-Junior now looks ‘very likely’ to depart the Allianz Stadium, which is why Juve have already begun looking for replacements.

The outlet adds that the Chelsea academy graduate has attracted a lot of interest from the Premier League, and with Tottenham now entering the picture, a farewell is ‘increasingly probable’ for the winger.

Spurs Web Opinion

While Iling-Junior appears certain to leave Juve, it remains to be seen where he will end up. If regular game time is the 20-year-old’s priority, perhaps he might be hesitant to join Spurs and would prefer to move to a mid-table side like Palace or Brentford.

Juventus name their price for Samuel Iling-Junior

Gazzetta have now reported that with Iling-Junior’s contract running out in 2025 and with the player having no intention of signing a new deal, Juve would be open to a sale in January.

It is explained that the Bianconeri turned down a loan offer from Bologna for the England Under-21 international in the summer while also trying in vain to use the Chelsea academy graduate as a part of a deal to sign Domenico Berardi from Sassuolo.

With Iling-Junior keen for regular game time, the outlet added that the Old Lady would be willing to accept £13m for his services in January.

Spurs Web Opinion

Iling-Junior is the kind of versatile attacker that Ange likes working with and the Australian might fancy his chances of getting the best out of youngster. I can see this transfer rumour having plenty of legs.

The Independent reported a couple of days ago that Spurs were eyeing a move for the versatile attacker, who can operate on either flank or through the middle, with the outlet claiming that Ange Postecoglou believes that the 20-year-old will add more tactical versatility to his side.

It was explained that the Lilywhites have a good relationship with the Juve hierarchy and that they could use that to their favour while negotiating a deal for the youngster.

Spurs now favourites to sign Samuel Iling-Junior

Il Bianconero have now said that Iling-Junior is keen on leaving the Allaiz Stadium in January in search of more regular game time.

A move to the Premier League is said to be on the cards for the England Under-21 international, with Tottenham ‘first and foremost’ a possibility for the attacker.

Finally, the publication adds that the Old Lady are expected to demand a fee of around €15m (£13m), which would not be an issue for the likes of Spurs.

Spurs Web Opinion

Iling-Junior would certainly tick several boxes for Spurs and I believe he is the kind of versatile forward that Postecoglou is likely to prioritise in January rather than an out-and-out striker such as Santiago Gimenez.

The post Report: Spurs now frontrunners to sign attacker who wants to leave Serie A club appeared first on Spurs Web - Tottenham Hotspur Football News.

After a flying start to life under Ange Postecoglou which saw Spurs go ten games unbeaten in the Premier League and occupy the top spot in the division, the wheels have started to come off a little in the last week.

Red cards for Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie left Tottenham with a mountain to climb against Chelsea a week ago, and injuries to James Maddison and Micky van de Ven made matters even worse.

Missing those four key players hurt Spurs this weekend, too, as they succumbed to a 2-1 defeat to Wolves in the dying embers of the game at Molineux on Saturday.

Are Spurs going to sign Samuel Iling-Junior?

The cracks in the fairly thin squad are starting to show, and many suggest players like Eric Dier and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg are not adequate replacements for first-choice stars. Needless to say, moves need to be made in January, and one target may have just been earmarked by The Independent.

It’s said Tottenham “sense there is an opportunity” for them to qualify for the Champions League, and will now look to add “much-needed depth” to their squad in the upcoming transfer window to bolster their chances.

On the radar, is Samuel Iling-Junior. The youngster joined Juventus in 2020 from Chelsea’s youth team, and has represented England through to Under-21 level. Now, the “promising talent” could be on his way back to London if Spurs get their way.

It is thought the “good business relationship” between Tottenham and Juventus could open the door for a move. The report also claims that Iling-Junior fits the strategy Spurs are going for right now, which is to acquire the best young talent early in their career.

Spurs Web Opinion

Iling-Junior is a versatile and very talented young man, who could provide a lot of support for our squad. I can definitely see something happening here, given our relationship with Juventus, but naturally, Postecoglou and the recruitment team have a lot of players on their minds.

Tuttosport reported back in November of last year that the winger was attracting the attention of several clubs across Europe, including Spurs.

The report explained that Fabio Paratici had spearheaded the signing of Iling-Junior during his time at Juve and that the Italian was now looking to reunite with the England Under-20 international at Spurs.

However, Tottenham’s pursuit of the teenager ended when he put pen to paper on a new contract until 2027 with the Serie A giants back in December.

90min have now suggested that Iling-Junior might be on the move in the summer, given Juve’s financial plight, with several Premier League clubs eyeing a potential move for the player.

The publication asserts that Newcastle United and Manchester City are both keen on snapping up the attacker while his former club Chelsea are also monitoring the situation.

Iling-Junior is also said to be on the radars of Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund but it is explained that Massimiliano Allegri’s men will not sell the youngster at a discount, given that he only signed a new deal a few months ago.

Tottenham likely looked at Iling-Junior as an interesting market opportunity since his contract at Juve was running down last year.

I do not think the North Londoners will get involved in a bidding war with the likes of Man City and Newcastle for the 19-year-old.

The forward has broken into Massimiliano Allegri’s first team this season, having registered two assists in the three substitute appearances he has made in the Serie A and the Champions League (Transfermarkt).

Tuttosport reported last month that the winger was attracting the attention of several clubs across Europe in light of his displays for Juve, particularly due to the fact that his contract at the Allianz Stadium was due to run out at the end of the season.

The report explained that Fabio Paratici had spearheaded the signing of Iling-Junior during his time at Juve and that the Italian was now looking to reunite with the England Under-20 international at Spurs.

However, it now looks like the Lilywhites’ pursuit of the 19-year-old might be over, with Romano taking to social media to reveal that the youngster has agreed a new deal with the Bianconeri that runs until 2027.

Juve were always going to do their best to tie Iling-Junior down to a new deal, particularly given the impact he has had this season. So, this news does not come as a surprise.

Paratici will likely continue to have an eye on the 20-year-old’s development, given that the Spurs managing director seems to have been the one who identified the teenager as a target for Juve a couple of years ago.
