According to the Italian publication Calciomercato, Tottenham Hotspur is apparently interested in acquiring Samuel Iling-Junior, a key player for Juventus, this summer.
According to rumors, the Lilywhites intend to bolster the team this summer in order to carry on the rebuilding process under Ange Postecoglou’s direction after a strong season this year.
The Australian manager is allegedly prioritizing bolstering the front line by bringing in a new center-forward, but he also has midfielder on his shopping list to help the engine room. Furthermore, it appears that the North London team intends to bolster its flank in preparation for the upcoming campaign.
According to the report by Calciomercato, Tottenham like Iling-Junior ‘very much’ and they could make a swoop for him during the off-season. The report further claims that Juventus are looking to raise funds by selling some players to reinforce other areas of the squad so they are open to cashing-in on him.
Calciomercato states that the Bianconeri could accept a fee of at least £13m so Spurs could manage to acquire his service for an affordable price.
Iling-Junior to Tottenham
After coming through Chelsea’s youth system, the Englishman joined Juventus back in 2020 before making his first-team debut a couple of years later, but he has found it difficult to break into Massimiliano Allegri’s starting eleven in recent times.
So, it has previously been reported that the 20-year-old has become frustrated at Allianz Stadium so he could be open to leaving to take a new challenge in his career.
The youngster is a left-footed forward – who likes to be deployed on the left flank. He is quick, strong, can dribble past opposition defenders in tight areas, has the efficiency of delivering excellent crosses from the wide areas and also works hard without possession.
Iling-Junior is a talented player and could become a top-class forward in future. He possesses the necessary qualities to play in Postecoglou’s high-intense style of football, so the winger would be a shrewd signing for Spurs if they purchase him.
However, it is going to be interesting to see whether the North London club eventually manage to acquire the Juventus star’s service in the upcoming transfer window to reinforce their forward department.
