Player ‘especially liked’ by West Ham United – €15m for relatively easy summer signing

On March 5th, Tutto Juve stated West Ham United are one of the clubs chasing Juventus’ Samuel Iling-Junior.

Calciomercato now have a report on the 20-year-old’s current situation, the Serie A side’s plan for his future and the interest he has received from the Premier League.

For the latter, West Ham are tagged, and it’s claimed David Moyes’ side are in the picture to sign the player in the summer.

The England U21 international has managed a goal and two assists from 19 games this season, and Massimiliano Allegri has mainly used him as a left wing-back.

Filip Kostić’s poor performances have allowed Iling-Junior to get opportunities and he seems to have convinced Allegri. The Englishman’s contract lasts until 2025 and the report claims the Old Lady are now a step away from renewing his contract.

Calciomercato state it’s not ruled out for Juve to sell him in the summer even if he were to sign an extension. As well as West Ham, Brighton & Hove Albion, Tottenham Hotspur and Everton are also named as his interested parties from the Premier League.

Over at Tutto Juve, they also state the West Ham target is ‘expendable’ for the Turin club.

Juve have to make a decision on whether to renew his deal or cash in from his sale. They are inclined towards a transfer and are requesting €15m to part ways with the player.

It’s claimed Iling-Junior is ‘especially liked in the Premier League’ by West Ham, who are one of his contenders. It’s not made clear if they will pay the required fee to sign him.
