Tottenham, West Ham and Everton in race to sign Samuel Iling-Junior – Sources
Tottenham, West Ham, Brighton and Everton are plotting moves for Juventus star Samuel Iling-Junior, sources have told Football Insider.
Iling-Junior, 20, is out of contract in the summer of 2025 at the Serie A giants, who have reluctantly accepted that they may have to cash in on the versatile attacker to avoid losing him for free.
Now, well-placed sources have told Football Insider that the Premier League quartet will look to capitalise on Juventus’ need to sell and try to snap up the England under-21 star this summer.
Spurs and Everton have been long-term admirers of the former Chelsea youngster and considered signing him in the January transfer window.

Bundesliga duo Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich are also keeping close tabs on the Englishman, with the latter considering him as a potential replacement for Real Madrid-bound Alphonso Davies.
Iling-Junior has enhanced his growing reputation with impressive outings in Serie A and with his performances with England’s under-21s.
He joined Juventus’ youth set-up after leaving Chelsea’s academy in 2020 and has gone on to make 37 senior appearances – mostly from the bench.
He recently bagged two goals in the Young Lions’ 7-0 Euro under-21 qualifier win against Luxembourg on Tuesday (26 March).
This season, he has predominantly played as a left midfielder, but he has been fielded on both wings and central midfield previously.
Sources told Football Insider last year (23 December) that Juventus would have accepted a £17million bid for the 2003-born ace in the January transfer window.
Ange Postecoglou’s side are set to revive their interest from the winter, with Football Insider revealing at the time (17 November) that he was a top target who they believe has “huge potential”.
