Aston Villa make transfer decision on summer signing as clubs circle

Aston Villa will allow Samuel Iling-Junior to leave the club on loan before the window shuts next week.

The winger joined the club back in July from Juventus along with Enzo Barrenechea. But just two months after his arrival, he is expected to depart on loan given the competition for places in his position in the Villa squad.

Jacob Ramsey, Morgan Rogers, Jaden Philogene, Emi Buendia, John McGinn and even Youri Tielemans are options for Unai Emery on the left attacking role. Fabrizio Romano has reported that there is no shortage of interest in Iling-Junior, with Spanish, French and Italian clubs all keen on signing him on loan.

The 20-year-old is keen to play as much football as he can to continue his development. He signed for Villa in a deal worth nearly £12m plus bonuses of £2.5m.

Iling-Junior and Barrenechea joined Villa for a combined £18.75m as Douglas Luiz headed to Turin for £42m.

Luiz started on the bench for his first Serie A game in Juventus colours against Como on Monday. He came on in the 79th minute by replacing Manuel Locatelli.

The summer transfer window shuts on Friday, August 30, a day after Villa find out who they'll play in the Champions League and a day before they face Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.
