Everton transfer news: £12m+ deal on cards for Samuel Iling-Junior at Goodison Park
Everton have joined Brighton, Newcastle and Tottenham in the race to sign Juventus winger Samuel Iling-Junior, who has a price tag of £12.8million, according to Tutto Juve.
The Italian news outlet reported on 1 April that Juventus will look to bring in a fee for the deal before his contract expires at the end of next season, making him available to move this summer.
Juventus are expecting widespread changes to their squad this summer, and the Toffees could look to take advantage of his availability in the transfer market.
Could Everton sign Samuel Iling-Junior this summer?
Everton have become the latest club to be registered with an interest in the Juventus winger, alongside Brighton, Tottenham and Newcastle as well as Fulham and Aston Villa who were also linked during the January transfer window. [TEAMtalk]
After the success of both Jarrad Branthwaite and Amadou Onana who were brought to the club at young ages to develop and possibly sell for a profit amid plenty of interest this summer, Iling-Junior could be the latest on the conveyor belt.
However, recent reports from Italy had claimed the Old Lady was close to agreeing to a new contract with Iling-Junior to keep him in Turin, directly conflicting with the report that they would look to profit from his exit this summer.
This means as well as the vast Premier League competition, Sean Dyche’s team would also have to convince him to join Everton over renewing his deal with his current club, which may prove a tough task at Goodison Park.
