  • The England U17 international has reportedly rejected a professional contract offer from Chelsea after he learned about Juve's interest.
  • As per Goal, Bayern Munich, Ajax and Schalke were also keen on Iling-Junior who impressed scouts while playing for the Blues' U18 side, as well as the U19 side in the UEFA Youth League.
  • The winger drew comparisons with Callum Hudson-Odoi for his pace and similarity in playing style but, unlike his elder teammate, Iling-Junior decided to pursue his career elsewhere.
