Former Chelsea youth coach Saul Isaksson-Hurst believes that rumoured Tottenham target, Samuel Iling-Junior can become a top player and hinted that the wide-forward may be on the move from Juventus this month.
Iling-Junior caught the eye after breaking into Juve’s senior side last season but the 20-year-old has found opportunities hard to come by this campaign.
It has been widely reported over the last couple of months that the Bianconeri are ready to cash in on the youngster and that Tottenham are watching his situation closely (Fichajes).
In fact, Football.London’s Alasdair Gold suggested that despite Spurs strengthening their forward line with the addition of Timo Werner, they might still be tempted to make a late move for the Juve starlet.
Isaksson-Hurst, who first came across Iling-Junior when was playing for Chelsea’s Under-10s, has now suggested that even though the attacker is happy in Turin, things could change quite quickly over the next couple of weeks.
The England Under-21 international’s former coach told The Guardian: “I don’t think there is a ceiling to his potential. I was hoping that he might have been given more chances this season but he has become a first-team regular at Juve and is there or thereabouts.
“Any young player wants to be playing as much as possible but I don’t think he will be too disappointed with how it has gone so far.
“He loves the club and the city and is happy there. But the transfer window is open and you never know what could happen because everything can change with one phone call.”
Spurs Web Opinion
I can see why Postecoglou likes Iling-Junior but following the Werner acquisition, I would be quite surprised if Spurs bring in another wide-attacker this month even if they give the green light for Bryan Gil to leave.
Have something to tell us about this article?
