Newcastle Set To Challenge City And Chelsea In Race To Sign Serie A Teenage Sensation

Newcastle have joined the battle to sign Juventus winger Samuel Iling-Junior, according to 90min.com.

The former Chelsea academy graduate made his senior debut for Juve back in October and his performances have been attracting the attention of Magpies scouts.

However, they are not the only Premier League team keeping tabs on Iling-Junior’s progress. Champions Manchester City and his former team Chelsea are also tracking the teenager.

90min report that teams on the continent, such as Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, are considering whether to make bids for the England Under 20 international too.

On top of the interest from other clubs, any transfer is likely to be difficult to pull off as Iling-Junior only signed a new deal back in December, and Juve are happy to keep him as they believe he has massive potential.

The 19-year-old will likely be content to remain in Italy, where he has made his professional debut, but he could yet be tempted by a return home.
