Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing 20-year-old Juventus winger Samuel Iling-Junior, valued at £20 million.
Samuel Iling-Junior has been linked with a return to English football, and a report from Football Insider has claimed that Tottenham have expressed their interest in signing the Juventus winger when the transfer window reopens in January.
Samuel Iling-Junior: Tottenham Register Interest
The 20-year-old is regarded as a prodigious young talent, but he has not been able to hold down a regular starting spot at the Italian club. He needs a fresh start, and moving away from Juventus would be ideal for his development.
It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can promise him regular game time. The 20-year-old will add pace and trickery to the Tottenham attack. He is talented enough to establish himself as a key player for the North London club with the right coaching and experience.
Meanwhile, Iling-Junior is reportedly valued at £20 million, which seems quite reasonable for a player with his potential in today’s market. Tottenham should be able to afford him without any problems, and it remains to be seen whether they come forward with an official offer to sign the player in the coming weeks.
It is no secret that Tottenham will have to improve their attacking options if they want to secure Champions League qualification at the end of the season. The English winger would be a solid, long-term investment for them, and he could even prove to be a bargain in the long run if he manages to fulfil his potential at Tottenham.
The opportunity to return to the Premier League and play for a big club like Tottenham will certainly be an exciting option for the player, and he is likely to be tempted. It remains to be seen whether the two clubs can negotiate a transfer in the coming weeks.
Apart from a quality winger, Tottenham should look to sign a central defender as well. They have a talented squad at their disposal but they are lacking in depth. They need to bring in more signings in order to finish the season strongly. The player has been linked with Newcastle United as well.
