That is according to TuttoJuve, which has noted how much transfer fee Tottenham are willing to pay for Iling-Junior.

So, what has been reported about Tottenham Hotspur and former Chelsea prospect Samuel Iling-Junior? Let's take a look.

Tottenham Hotspur linked with former Chelsea prospect Samuel Iling-Junior

Well, according to TuttoJuve, Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing former Chelsea prospect Samuel Iling-Junior from Juventus.

The report in the Italian news outlet has claimed that Tottenham have already approached Iling-Junior, who has been likened to Alphonso Davies.

However, Spurs are not willing to offer more than €12 million (£10.29 million). Juventus want at least €18-20 million (£15.43-£17.14 million) for the 20-year-old winger.

Samuel Iling-Junior would be a good signing for Tottenham Hotspur

In my view, Samuel Iling-Junior would be a good signing for Tottenham Hotspur. Spurs have already been extensively scouting the 20-year-old winger, which shows that they have done their homework on him.

Iling-Junior was on the books of Chelsea from 2011 until 2020. This suggests that he is well aware of what it takes to play for a big London club in the Premier League.

Yes, the England Under-21 international is only 20 now and does not have any experience of playing in the Premier League, but he is well aware of what it takes to succeed in England.

Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou has a good mix of young and experienced players. Destiny Udogie is only 21, but he is already the number one left-back for Spurs.

I believe that Iling-Junior could become a regular for Tottenham under Postecoglou. The winger has made four substitute appearances in Serie A for Juventus this season.
