Samuel Iling-Junior is set to sign for Bologna on loan after joining Aston Villa from Juventus earlier this summer
The 20-year-old joined Villa from Juventus back in June alongside Enzo Barrenechea in a deal worth £18.75m combined. Douglas Luiz headed the other way for £42m to help the club comply with the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR).
Iling-Junior was keen to leave Villa on loan this summer given the competition 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.
Lewis Dobbin, who also joined Villa back in June, left on loan earlier this summer too. He is playing in the Championship for the season with promotion hopefuls West Bromwich Albion.
The summer transfer window shuts next Friday, a day after Villa find out who they’ll play in the Champions League and before they face Leicester City at the King Power Stadium on Saturday, August 31
