Tottenham are reportedly interested in signing Juventus attacker Samuel Iling-Junior, who has stated in the past that he’s an Arsenal fan.

According to the Independent, Spurs are keen on bringing the England U-21 star back to the Premier League having previously left Chelsea to join the Serie A giants.

Regarded as one of Europe’s most exciting attacking prospects, Illing-Junior has established himself as a regular at Juventus, with the forward featuring in every matchday squad for the Old Lady.

And a move to England could now be on the cards for 20-year-old forward, with Tottenham interested in signing Iling-Junior as part of their long-term vision under Ange Postecoglou.

However, as revealed by the player himself, Iling-Junior is an Arsenal supporter despite coming through Chelsea’s ranks and now being linked with a move to Tottenham.

Indeed, Spurs could be a good opportunity for Iling-Junior. Yet with the attacker clearly rated at Juventus, a move to north London could be viewed as a sideways step.

Leaving England for Juventus has proven to be a good career move for Iling-Junior, who is now a regular for one of Europe’s biggest and most prestigious clubs.

And although Tottenham is an alluring opportunity for the England youth star, Iling-Junior really needs to consider if a move to Spurs is actually best for his career.

As we know, Iling-Junior is unlikely to become a regular for Tottenham, and with Juventus as big as they are, the attacker needs to really consider his options before making a decision in January.
