Dean Jones has shared what a Juventus source has told him about Samuel Iling-Junior and Tottenham Hotspur.

Speaking on the Ranks FC Podcast, the journalist provided a fresh update on Tottenham’s interest in the Juve winger. 

Tottenham have been heavily linked with a move for Samuel Iling-Junior as Ange Postecoglou searches for reinforcements in attack.

Indeed, Spurs were named as the frontrunners for Iling-Junior’s signature yesterday, with the forward available for around £15.5 million in January.

Postecoglou may be keen on adding another winger to his squad after injuries to Ivan Perisic and Manor Solomon this season.

And Jones has shared what a ‘Juve contact’ has messaged him about Iling-Junior’s price tag in January.

What Juventus source has said about Iling-Junior and Tottenham

Speaking on Ranks FC, the journalist suggested the winger will be available on the cheap in the winter transfer window.

“Samuel Iling-Junior of Juventus also being linked,” Jones said. “Someone literally just messaged me about this and he’s a Juve contact, I just wanted to check with him, what is his value and he said, ‘€15m-€20m’.

“I mean that’s not a bad deal, this is a player who’s come through the English system, obviously moved abroad at a young age to go and test himself and push himself.”

Iling-Junior came through the ranks at Chelsea but opted to join Juve back in 2020. He’s enjoyed some bright moments in Turin but is struggling for regular minutes under Massimiliano Allegri.

He’s only made four appearances from the bench in Serie A this season, registering one assist along the way.

Spurs have certainly benefitted from taking unwanted Juve players in the past, with Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur both proving to be smart pieces of business.

But there would be a much higher element of risk when it comes to Iling-Junior as the Englishman lacks the same level of first-team experience.

Nevertheless, he’s proven to be a versatile option at Juve as he’s operated at left wing-back and in a midfield role.
