Report: Spurs have already made contact over January deal for winger
The print edition of TuttoSport (as relayed by Sport Witness) has claimed that Tottenham Hotspur have already reached out to Juventus regarding a January deal for Samuel Iling-Junior.
The speculation linking Iling-Junior with a move to Tottenham has gone into hyperdrive over the last few weeks, with various Italian outlets suggesting that the Lilywhites are at the front of the queue to sign the attacker, who is keen on leaving Juve in search of regular game time (TMW).
Earlier this week, Football Insider even claimed that the England Under-21 international is Ange Postecoglou’s ‘dream signing’ and that Spurs are ready to accelerate their efforts to bring him to North London.
Spurs contact Juventus over Samuel Iling-Junior
If TuttoSport’s latest update is to be believed, Tottenham have already reached out to Juventus to speak about a potential deal for Iling-Junior.
The report states that the Serie A giant’s asking price of €20m (£17.4m) ‘does not scare’ Spurs as the player is of ‘great interest’ to the club.
The publication adds that there is expected to be fresh contacts between the two clubs over the coming days, with Postecoglou’s men keen to ensure that the deal is on track ahead of the January window.
Spurs Web Opinion
Based on the various reports on Iling-Junior over the past week, it seems like Tottenham are in pole position and well poised to conclude the deal.
However, the only issue that Spurs might face is perhaps the youngster having doubts over getting regular game time at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The 20-year-old might be tempted to move to a mid-table Premier League side as a stepping stone instead of joining one of the big six.
