The Daily Mail claims that Everton is getting ready to make a £16 million summer transfer push for Hull City winger Jaden Philogene.
After an outstanding season in the Championship, the 22-year-old has drawn interest from Barcelona and Tottenham, according to an outlet that posted on its website on Friday, June 28. The Toffees have entered the competition for him. The England youth international’s performances with the Tigers have also impressed West Ham, who are now debating whether or not to make an offer to bring him to the London Stadium.
With news of Hull City’s departure, would Everton emerge victorious in the summer transfer hunt for Jaden Philogene?
Many anticipated that Goodison Park would be relatively quiet this summer, but as the Premier League’s PSR deadline approaches, it seems like the transfer window has really gotten going over the past few days.
Sean Dyche and his group will be eager to bolster their roster, especially at the top of the pitch, even though the Blues’ primary goal will be to retain some of their best players on Merseyside domain.
As rumors of Arnaut Danjuma’s and Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s impending loan spells grow, Philogene might be the ideal answer for the Toffees if he can translate his success from the EFL to the Premier League.
Hull has made an impression on the field and has also demonstrated his ability to pose a real threat from the wing, which has enabled the Tigers to get close to the playoffs. His technical skill is evident to all, even though it was in the second tier.
A player who hasn’t yet established himself in the premier league is a risk at £16 million. But if Philogene keeps getting better, as most people believe he will, it might be a move worth making because he will be much more valuable later on. Hopefully, Everton will be able to get this one over the line.
