Aston Villa have been busy on the transfer front this summer, making eight new signings.

However, one player signed by the Villans over the past few months has already moved away, and now another could now follow.

Villa re-signed Cameron Archer from Sheffield United in June, but subsequently sold him to Southampton two months later.

Now, according to Fabrizio Romano, another player the Villans have signed in the summer window could now be set to leave on loan.

Aston Villa will let Samuel Iling-Junior leave on loan

The player in question is Samuel Iling-Junior, who joined Villa alongside Enzo Barrenechea as part of the deal that took Douglas Luiz to Juventus.

Romano, taking to X, says Villa have decided to let the 20-year-old leave on loan so that he can play on a regular basis.

Iling-Junior is sought after by a number of clubs in Spain, France and Italy, added the transfer insider.

Who is Aston Villa talent Samuel Iling-Junior?

Samuel Iling-Junior is a 20-year-old winger who has already made 45 competitive appearances for the Juventus first-team.

The England Under-21 international, who came through the ranks at Chelsea, registered two goals and four assists for Juve prior to his summer move.

The Juve website deemed Iling-Junior “one of the most promising young footballers of his generation” when they shared a video of his goals just last year.

The video, posted on YouTube and embedded on the Juve website, showcases the “skill, speed, and agility that have made him a standout player.”

Iling-Junior has also been likened to Bayern Munich star and Canada international Alphonso Davies.

The ‘excellent‘ winger clearly has potential and it’s good to see Villa willing to send him out on loan so he can play regularly and develop further.
