Aston Villa signed Samuel Iling-Junior and Enzo Barrenechea from Juventus in July 2024. The Villans sent the duo out on loan as Unai Emery hasn’t considered them at Villa Park.

Iling-Junior had loan spells at Bologna and Middlesbrough during the 2024/25 season. Last summer, Aston Villa sent him on loan to West Bromwich Albion, and he failed to shine at The Hawthorns.

The winger scored one goal and failed to contribute an assist from 1,290 minutes from 24 matches in all competitions for West Brom.
