According to reports, Juventus is eager to let go of the 20-year-old in order to raise money for another midfield player.
The Serie A powerhouses are looking to add to their roster and are demanding a transfer fee of between €15 and €20 million, an amount that Tottenham believes to be reasonable.
Tottenham needs reinforcements immediately because of Richarlison’s difficulties both on and off the pitch, as well as their continuous injury crisis, which includes the prolonged absences of Perisic and Solomon.
The club is rumoured to be prioritising a left-sided attacking player, and Iling-Junior’s versatility may offer the necessary depth.
The young winger is apparently keen to leave Juventus and is looking for more regular playing time.
He might end up being a good addition to the team, especially if Spurs will be able to get his services for a fair price in what is otherwise a competitive market.

Journalist describes the “frosty” exchange between Daniel Levy and the Spurs star
Reporter Sami Mokbel of the Daily Mail has disclosed specifics of a “frosty” confrontation that happened between Tottenham owner Daniel Levy and one Spurs player. For the player, the days seem to be “numbered.”
Ange loses the league for the third time in a row.
“I said during the week I wasn’t happy with way we played at Wolves, so that’s a different performance,” said Postecoglou on Spurs’ 2-1 loss to Villa.
“Again, it’s not a game we couldn’t have got a result but it was not something I was pleased in terms of the progress we need to make. Today is different. I thought today we play that game again and we keep playing in that manner when we do get everyone back, we’re going to be a pretty good football side as we’ve already shown.
“We’ve just got to make sure the players stay focused on what’s important right now and you need to win games of football to keep yourself in the mix to be in a strong position come the end of the year, but right now we’re still building a side. What’s more important is the way forward has to be with what the end goal is in mind and today was about trying to play the football we want to play. If we fell short, we fell short but I didn’t think we fell short today. I thought it was just fine margins for us and not getting the rewards.”
On any other day, Spurs would have got some sort of reward for their efforts, and there were definitely positives to be gained from the tremendously entertaining 90 minutes in north London.
To demonstrate how much he trusted Eric Dier, Postecoglou started Emerson Royal and Ben Davies at centre back during the game.
Levy’s “frosty” confrontation with Dier
Dier is expected to depart Tottenham in 2024 because his contract is slated to expire at the end of the current campaign. The 29-year-old might actually depart as early as January. Rumour has it that Dier may “shock” everyone by joining Bundesliga powerhouse Bayern Munich in the middle of the season.
Since Dier’s tenure at the Spurs seems “numbered,” Mail writer Mokbel is now in favour of the hypothesis that Dier will leave the squad shortly. More intriguingly, the article says that earlier this year, there were some “frosty” backdoor discussions between chairman Levy and the player.
Although the former Sporting Lisbon player has been a wonderful asset to the team, his future may be very far off.
