Aston Villa’s Samuel Iling Junior has cut short his loan at West Bromwich Albion to move to Pisa in Serie A.
The winger has spent the first half of the season at the Baggies in the Championship.
He scored once in 24 games but now moves to Pisa to help them in their relegation fight with the club second bottom of Serie A.

Iling Junior has previously played for Juventus and Bologna in Italy.
The Baggies – 21st and three points above the Championship relegation zone – have replaced him with Aston Villa team-mate Jamaldeen Jimoh-Aloba.
Preston were also keen to take the 19-year-old on loan but Jimoh-Aloba wants to help the Baggies’ relegation fight and has opted to return to the club over North End, while Leicester City also enquired.
Attacker Jimoh-Aloba came through the academy at The Hawthorns before moving to Villa in 2023.
He made his Premier League debut last month and scored Villa’s winner in the 3-2 comeback victory over Red Bull Salzburg in the Europa League last week.
