Juventus are reportedly working to sell Samuel Iling-Junior, with Tottenham believed to be interested in the England youth international.

The former Chelsea academy wonderkid is on the chopping block at the Old Lady with the Serie A giants keen to bring in some much-needed funds to raise capital and recruit new signings this month.

Whilst U-19 coach Andrea Bonatti has lauded Iling-Junior as an ‘excellent’ talent, it’s clear that the attacker’s re-sale value is too appealing a prospect for Juventus this January.

And according to journalist Rudy Galetti, the Italian side are working on selling Iling-Junior, with Tottenham reportedly interested in signing the youngster.

Valued at £17m, Iling-Junior would be quite an exciting addition for Tottenham if the north London side can get the transfer done in a timely manner.

And this latest update strongly suggests that Juventus are in a position to negotiate, with Iling-Junior potentially open to a return to the Premier League with Tottenham.

With Juventus now actively working to sell Iling-Junior, there could be an outcome that results in Tottenham signing the winger far below the market value.

As we know, the Turin-based side are desperate to sell, with Iling-Junior a prospect who will attract obvious interest from the Premier League given his English status.

And Juventus might soon grow impatient and allow the forward to leave for cheap, a situation that will leave Tottenham most happy this January window.
