Aston Villa launch official bid to sign Juventus winger

Sources claim that Aston Villa has shown interest in Samuel Iling-Junior, a great winger for Juventus.

The 20-year-old is reportedly attracting interest from both teams, and talks are reportedly underway for a possible deal to bring him back to England. He is also a top target for Tottenham as the January transfer window draws near, according to Football Insider.

Before the January transfer market opens, Aston Villa has made an inquiry about Samuel Iling-Junior, a graduate of the Chelsea academy. The 20-year-old winger may leave Juventus as soon as the new year, with reports indicating that he is keen to make a move in the upcoming season. According to sources, the Serie A powerhouses are expected to accept a deal of about £17 million.

Samuel Iling-Junior has made six league appearances for Juventus this season, logging 129 minutes of playing time. He hasn’t, however, yet guaranteed a starting spot for Juventus in the 2023–2024 season. The winger, who was born in London, left Chelsea for Juventus in 2020. In his 24 senior games, he has one goal and three assists to his credit.

The left-footer has played three times for the Young Lions since making his debut for England Under-21 in September.

Ange Postecoglou’s roster is apparently suffering from multiple critical injuries, therefore Tottenham is reportedly keen to add more attacking alternatives. However, Aston Villa is attempting to steal Postecoglou from Spurs.
