Aston Villa winger Samuel Iling-Junior is closing in on a season-long loan move to Bologna.

The 20-year-old joined Villa from Juventus at the end of June in an £11.8m move, with a potential further £2.5m payable add-ons.

The move went through at the same time as midfielder Douglas Luiz completed a move in the other direction.

But Iling-Junior is close to a rapid return to Italy through Bologna, a club that secured a shock qualification to the Champions League through an impressive fifth place finish in Serie A.

The move is dependant on a medical but the former Chelsea academy product is in Italy finalising the move.
