What would Samuel Iling-Junior bring to Spurs?

A pure old school winger who despite being left footed prefers to play on the left.

The Englishman is just 20 but has already showed glimpses of a top player at Juventus.

Pros:

- Physicality is strong. He’s not only quick but also strong, making him hard to knock off the ball in duels.
- Ball manipulation and footwork are very good, he’s able to fool opponents when dribbling at them.
- Can carry well from deep.
- Good crossing ability, where he wraps his foot around the ball well.

Cons:

- Doesn’t offer much of a goal threat.
- Quite one footed.

How does he fit?

He matches an Ange winger very well, as he’s someone who thrives from keeping width and running at his full back.

I’d expect him to set up many chances from cut backs and crosses with his brilliant left foot.

He’s a great young prospect who would definitely add to our squad.

However there are slightly better options who are more unpredictable as they can go inside and outside. Iling-Junior can be quite one dimensional at times even though he’s a strong dribbler.

As a signing though, for someone that young and also English, I’d rate it as an 8/10.
