My Take
Samuel Iling-Junior is a genuinely exciting prospect to track. Born in Islington in 2003 and schooled in the academies of Chelsea and Juventus, he debuted early in Italy and can play both winger and wing-back. What I admire is the appetite for discomfort: rather than coast at Aston Villa, he went out on loan to Pisa to be tested in a foreign league. Young players who choose to be challenged abroad are walking a fine line between breaking out and breaking down, but the European pedigree he built from the U19 stage suggests he lands on the right side. I am keeping an eye on him.
Overview
Samuel Iling-Junior (born 4 October 2003) is an English professional footballer who plays as a winger or wing-back for Serie A club Pisa, on loan from Premier League club Aston Villa. A youth product of Chelsea and Juventus, Iling-Junior made his debut for reserve team Juventus U23 in the 2021–22 season, while also reaching the UEFA Youth League semi-finals with the U19 squad.
