Juventus have reportedly set an asking price of £12m for Samuel Iling-Junior, who this week has been linked with a move to Tottenham.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Old Lady are aware of Premier League interest in the 20-year-old winger, with Aston Villa and Everton now in the race for Iling-Junior.

News broke this week that Tottenham are interested in the former Chelsea academy star as Spurs look to add more young players to their ranks in the January transfer window.

And Iling-Junior has emerged as a potential target, with the England youth international regarded as one of the Three Lions most exciting prospects having featured for Juventus’ first-team this season.

Likened to Bayern Munich superstar Alphonso Davies, the English speedster could be a bargain signing with Juventus now only wanting £12m for Iling-Junior’s services.

And Tottenham could be encouraged to move for the youngster, with attacking depth needed for the north London side heading into 2024.

Iling-Junior made a brave decision in leaving Chelsea for Juventus early in his career, yet with the attacker now a regular for Juventus in Serie A, the choice has proven to be a good one.

Yet a return to the Premier League could be ideal for Iling-Junior, and Tottenham have to make a move for the winger amid new interest in the youngster from rival clubs.

Whilst Iling-Junior is a self-proclaimed Arsenal fan, the prospect of joining Tottenham in this new era of the club could be an exciting opportunity for Iling-Junior.

And at £12m, Spurs would be foolish to turn down such an offer, especially for a player who falls under the homegrown quota that is now so important for Premier League clubs.
