Samuel Iling-Junior’s personal coach drops ‘big’ claim after Tottenham source’s reveal
Tottenham-linked Juventus star Samuel Iling-Junior has the potential to thrive in the Premier League.
Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, Saul Isaksson-Hurst, a long-standing former Chelsea, Spurs and Arsenal coach of 18 years and who now runs his own business coaching Premier League stars, hailed the left-sided attacker’s “great mentality” and modesty.
Iling-Junior, 20, moved to the Serie A giants’ academy from Chelsea in 2020 and has since been earning regular senior game time having made 20 appearances in all competitions this season.
