Samuel Iling Junior is a bright prospect for Juventus, and Gazzetta dello Sport has reported that Everton is one of the clubs interested in signing him. In the competition to sign the English winger for the Toffees next season, Brighton and Hove Albion and Nottingham Forest have been named as rivals.
The Incredible Rise Of Iling Junior In Italian Football
This season, the 19-year-old has played a significant role in Juventus’ matchday squad. Iling Junior has made three appearances for the Turin team so far this season, contributing one assist across all leagues.
Due to the fact that the gifted youngster has only ever played as a substitute, he only averages 1.7 tackles, 0.3 shoots, and 0.3 critical passes per game in Serie A. According to statistics from whoscored, his pass completion rate in the Italian top division was 80.6%, indicating that he was effective when distributing possession in the final third.
In the summer of 2025, his current deal with the Turin team will expire. Therefore, if Everton wants to prevail in the competition for his services the next year, they must make a strong offer.
Iling Junior Is Being Sought After By A Number Of Clubs, Including Everton. Is He A Future Prospect?
Iling Junior can make some driving runs with the ball out in the wide areas and is a good dribbler with the ball. He may occasionally give his teammates a chance and shoot the ball powerfully from a distance.
The talented player, who was born in Islington, is primarily a left-sided winger but can also play right-wing if his manager requests it. He is still fairly young, though, and will need time to establish himself at the top level.
Iling Junior is clearly a future player to keep an eye on, though. He would therefore be a fantastic long-term acquisition for Everton manager Sean Dyche to make in 2019.
Iling Junior is already competent enough to contribute to the team of the Merseyside club. If Dyche is ready to be patient with his development, he might eventually become a success story at Goodison Park.
