Juventus have renewed Samuel Iling-Junior’s contract and promoted him to their first team after the youngster impressed in his first games for the club.
He is now tied to a long-term contract and is hoping to get more chances to play for the first team and perhaps deliver more goals and assists.
Juve have so many wingers in the first team, and he will struggle to play often if the older players above him in the pecking order do well.
A report on Tuttojuve reveals that the attacker will be considered an alternative to Filip Kostic and will play a super sub role similar to the one Bayern Munich’s Kingsley Coman played when he was in Turin.
Juve hopes that in this way he will become one of the best attackers in his squad.
Juve FC says
Iling-Junior is clearly a great talent, and it’s great news that we have him on our team as a player who can change a game, even if he comes off the bench.
He would like more playing time now that he is in the senior team, but he has to be patient and wait for his time to shine because we have some of the best attackers in our squad.
If he continues to do well off the bench, he could even play ahead of his more successful teammates.
