Samuel Iling-Junior

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 has gone out on loan to Bologna and Pisa in Italy as well as Middlesbrough, West Brom and now Bolton. 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.
