Coach Saul Isaksson-Hurst has hinted that Samuel Iling-Junior could leave Juventus, after reports that Tottenham are interested in the winger.

The England youth international has made quite a name for himself in recent weeks with the Old Lady, with the 20-year-old attacker scoring from the bench in a 2-1 win against Salernitana.

Recent reports have suggested that Tottenham are interested in signing the £17m-rated forward, with Juventus believed to be open to cashing in on Iling-Junior.

And in an interview with the Guardian, one-to-one coach Isaksson-Hurst has suggested that the former Chelsea academy star could be sold if Tottenham were to make contact with Juventus for Iling-Junior.

Isaksson-Hurst said: “I don’t think there is a ceiling to his potential. I was hoping that he might have been given more chances this season but he has become a first-team regular at Juve and is there or thereabouts.

“Any young player wants to be playing as much as possible but I don’t think he will be too disappointed with how it has gone so far. He loves the club and the city and is happy there. But the transfer window is open and you never know what could happen because everything can change with one phone call.”

Samuel Iling-Junior should wait until the summer before considering Tottenham move

A return to the Premier League could be an appealing prospect for Iling-Junior, especially with Juventus already reportedly open to selling the youngster.

However, having played the hero for the Italian giants last weekend, Iling-Junior could now be handed more first-team minutes having spent the majority of the season as a bench-warmer.

As a result, Iling-Junior could be wise to wait until the summer to consider a move to Tottenham, with the forward currently in a great place to take his development further with Juventus.
