Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly among five potential suitors for Juventus winger Samuel Iling-Junior, as revealed by TuttoJuve. The Bianconeri are prepared to sell the promising young talent this summer, attracting interest from several clubs.
Tottenham's interest in Iling-Junior isn't new. The young winger has been on the club's radar for quite some time. Back in April, The Telegraph highlighted that Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou was keen on bolstering his squad with a new winger, naming Iling-Junior and Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams as prime targets.
Iling-Junior, who made 24 Serie A appearances for Juventus last season, mostly as a substitute, managed to net one goal, according to Transfermarkt. Despite his limited game time, the 20-year-old has shown enough promise to warrant attention from several top-tier clubs.
TuttoJuve has now confirmed that Juventus are actively looking to offload Iling-Junior, informing potential buyers of his availability. The England Under-21 international has garnered interest not just from Tottenham, but also from Newcastle United, and Serie A clubs Bologna and Atalanta. Juventus are reportedly valuing the winger at €15m (around £12.7m).
Interestingly, there are suggestions that Juventus might consider using Iling-Junior as part of a swap deal to bring Manchester United’s Mason Greenwood to Turin. This potential twist could complicate Tottenham's pursuit of the young talent.

While Iling-Junior's potential is undeniable, Tottenham needs more than just potential this summer. The North London club is aiming to significantly strengthen their squad, particularly in the wide attacking positions.
The recent move to bring Timo Werner back on a season-long loan from RB Leipzig indicates Spurs’ intent to add immediate quality to their roster. Additionally, Bryan Gil is expected to leave the club after a disappointing stint.
With Juventus willing to sell and several clubs vying for Iling-Junior’s signature, it remains to be seen where the young winger will end up. Tottenham will need to act swiftly and decisively if they want to secure his services.
