West Brom loan Villa's Iling-Junior for season

West Bromwich Albion have signed Aston Villa winger Samuel Iling-Junior on loan for the rest of the season.

Iling-Junior, who helped England win the European U21 Championship this summer, joined Villa from Italian club Juventus a year ago.

He made 16 Championship appearances for Middlesbrough during a loan spell in the 2024-25 season, scoring once, after spending the first half of last season with Bologna.

"Samuel is a versatile player whose pace and quality will be a great addition," Baggies' sporting director Andrew Nestor told the club website.

"His ability to play on both wings fits well with the options in our squad, while he has also demonstrated his ability to adapt at full-back during his loan last season with Middlesbrough and when representing England's under-21s during their successful Euros campaign this summer.
