West Bromwich official: 21-year-old England winger Yiling is introduced on loan from Villa

Hupu September 1st News West Bromwich officially announced that it would introduce 21-year-old winger Samuel Iling-Junior from Aston Villa on a season loan. The London-born player who can serve as both wings and fullbacks has grown up in Chelsea's youth training and then transferred to Juventus.

Eling played for Serie A Bologna in the first half of the 2024/25 season after joining Villa last summer, amassing experience in the Champions League, and was loaned to Middlesbrough in the second half of the season.

This international in England of all ages once won the 2025 European U21 Championship with the U21 national team.

Eling became West Brom's eighth signing in the summer transfer window. Sports Director Andrew Nester said: "Eling is a versatile player, and his speed and skills will be a great addition. He is competent in the wing position and demonstrated his ability to adapt to the full-back position in Middlesbrough loan and the U21 European Championship last season. Despite his young age, he has accumulated high-level experience in Serie A, Champions League and the Championship, and we are very happy that he chose West Bromwich to continue to grow."

Eling said: "I really want to play and I am very excited to be here. When talking with Ryan Mason, we discussed my strengths: dribbling, speed, creating opportunities for teammates and scoring goals by myself. The clubs paid attention to me from the beginning of the summer window, which made me feel that my value was recognized. This is a very good opportunity and I will do my best."
