Iling-Junior joins Bologna on season-long loan
Two months after joining Aston Villa from Juventus, Samuel Iling-Junior is returning to Serie A on a season-long loan with Bologna.
The 20 year-old joined the Villans at the start of July as part of a double transfer from Juventus with Enzo Barrenechea for a combined £18.6million.
However, he has not featured in either of Villa's matchday squads since the start of the Premier League season, with Leon Bailey and Morgan Rogers preferred in the wide areas.
Iling-Junior made 27 appearances for Juventus in all competitions last season, scoring once and registering two assists, helping the club to win the Coppa Italia in May.
Bologna is yet to win this season in Serie A, drawing with Udinese and losing to Napoli, but is set to compete in the Champions League, having qualified for the tournament for the first time since 1964.
