Juventus made quite the effort to land the signature of Samuel Iling-Junior from Chelsea back in the summer of 2020 and now appear to reaping the benefits.
Two years on from his arrival, Iling-Junior has been named in the match-day squad for the Bianconeri's home clash against Salernitana on Sunday evening. Having been announced as a Juventus player at the tender age of 16, Illing-Junior has at long last been deemed ready for the rigours of senior Seria A football.
If it were up to those at the top of the Stamford Bridge hierarchy, there's every chance the France Youth international would still be playing his football in West London. Chelsea were more than willing to hand Iling-Junior his first professional contract, but he deemed the grass in Turin greener and upped sticks.
