Sources: Tottenham £20m offer for Iling-Junior likely to be accepted
Juventus are ready to accept offers of around £20million for Tottenham target Samuel Iling-Junior this January, sources have told Football Insider.
Spurs have registered their interest in signing the 20-year-old winger next month as Ange Postecoglou looks to strengthen his side for the second half of the season.
The North London side want to bolster their attacking options and view Iling-Junior as an ideal fit for Postecoglou’s high-octane style of play.
A £20m bid is now likely to be accepted in the upcoming transfer window, which will be seen as a huge boost by Spurs.
The London-born star previously played in Chelsea’s academy before joining Juventus in 2020 in pursuit of first-team football.
However, Iling-Junior has struggled to cement a spot in Juventus’ first-team since making the switch, with the young winger making just 22 first-team appearances and scoring once during his three years in Italy.
It is understood that the Serie A giants are now prepared to cash in on Iling-Junior this January to avoid his value dropping in the final 18 months of his contract.
He signed a contract extension running until 2025 with the Turin-based club last December.
However, Juventus have now set an asking price of around £20million for his signature.
The Italian club are eager to offload the youngster soon in order to fund a midfield signing of their own after Paul Pogba’s suspension left manager Massimiliano Allegri short of options.
