Tottenham Hotspur have been tracking Juventus winger Samuel Iling-Junior for months, but face stiff competition from Brighton and Aston Villa.

The Bianconeri are widely expected to negotiate a sale for Iling-Junior in January, as the funds would be used to fund much-needed reinforcements in the middle of the park.

Their asking price is in the region of €18-20m for the 20-year-old, who is a product of the Chelsea youth academy and joined Juventus for a minimal fee in September 2020.

Although promoted to the senior squad, Iling-Junior has made only six appearances in Serie A this season, contributing one assist.

While it is no secret that Tottenham are eager to snap him up in January, TuttoJuve.com point out there are other Premier League sides interested too.

They include Brighton and Hove Albion, who are coached by Roberto De Zerbi and made it through to the Europa League Round of 16, and Nicolò Zaniolo’s Aston Villa.
