West Brom Sign Aston Villa’s Samuel Iling‑Junior on Deadline‑Day Loan

The 21-year-old England U21 winger arrives to strengthen Ryan Mason’s flanks following Tom Fellows’ sale.

Overview

  • The move is a season-long loan from Aston Villa to West Bromwich Albion.
  • He split last season between Bologna and Middlesbrough, appearing in the Champions League before recording 16 Boro outings with one goal and two assists.
  • Left-footed and primarily left-sided, he has operated on both wings and also covered at left-back.
  • Albion view him as a right-wing option after Tom Fellows’ £10 million departure, adding to choices that include Mikey Johnston and Jed Wallace.
  • He links up with head coach Ryan Mason, who took over earlier this summer following Tony Mowbray’s departure.
