Tottenham Hotspur are interested in bringing Juventus winger Samuel Iling-Junior back to the Premier League.
After Juve made him available for £15.5 million, the London-born former Chelsea youth star is garnering attention from a number of clubs.

Iling-Junior’s contract expires in January, and Juve would prefer to keep the forward, who just broke into England’s Under-21 side, but will cash in with the 20-year-old eager to play more minutes.
Spurs are understood to be leading the race for Illing-Junior, seen as an opportunity signing rather than a priority one, with left-sided centre-backs like Jean-Clair Todibo, Marc Guehi and Lloyd Kelly at the top of the agenda.
However, they continue to look at players in all positions as an injury crisis threatens to undermine Ange Postecoglou’s fantastic start.
According to Calciomercato, Juventus are willing to cash in on Iling-Junior this winter to free up space and funds for a midfield recruit. And Tottenham are reportedly at the front of the queue.
Illing-Junior left Chelsea for Juve in 2020 and has built an impressive CV, making 22 appearances at, arguably, Italy’s biggest club. Most of those senior minutes came last season, but Massimiliano Allegri is now back picking more experienced players so limiting Iling-Junior to four substitute appearances in this campaign.
