According to Football Insider, Juventus are now ready to accept offers of around £20m for Tottenham target Sameul Iling-Junior.
The speculation linking Iling-Junior with a move to Tottenham has gone into hyperdrive over the past few weeks, with several outlets stating that the Lilywhites are at the front of the queue to sign the 20-year-old (Evening Standard).
Over the last few days, it has emerged that the likes of Marseille (CalcioMercato) and Brighton (TEAMtalk) have also entered the race to sign the Chelsea academy graduate.
However, two days ago, Tuttosport claimed that Spurs still hold the advantage as the player is represented by CAA Base, which is led by Frank Trimboli, who has an excellent relationship with Daniel Levy.
Samuel Iling-Junior will cost Tottenham £20m
Football Insider have also backed up Tottenham’s interest in Iling-Junior, stating that the Juve star is seen as an ‘ideal fit’ for Ange Postecoglou’s style of play.
They reveal that the Bianconeri are now prepared to accept offers of around £20m for the winger next month as they do not want his value to drop any further.
The report adds that Juve’s stance on Iling-Junior has come as a ‘huge boost’ to Spurs ahead of January.

The fee will not be an issue for Spurs or any other Premier League but I believe the decision might come down to Iling-Junior himself, with several English sides likely to reach out to his entourage over a January move.
It remains to be seen if Postecoglou can convince the youngster that he will get regular starts at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
