Aston Villa forward Samuel Iling-Junior has joined Serie A side Bologna on a season-long loan.
The 20-year-old England Under-21 international only joined the Midlands club from Juventus last month in a double deal with Argentine midfielder Enzo Barrenechea worth 22m euros (拢18.6m).
That deal was announced the day after Douglas Luiz signed for Juventus from Villa for 拢42.35m.
Iling-Junior featured for Villa in pre-season but was not included in the squad for their first two games of the campaign.
He was part of Chelsea's academy before joining Juventus' youth team and made his senior debut in May 2022.
The forward scored two goals in 45 appearances for the Turin club.
