Jaden Philogene is a highly sought-after player in one of the biggest transfer sagas this summer, with various clubs showing interest. Fabrizio Romano has exclusively told GIVEMESPORT that Crystal Palace could join the race for his signature, although it might be too late as Ipswich Town and Everton are “trying until the end” to sign the Hull City star.
Philogene had an outstanding season in the Championship, scoring 12 goals and providing six assists in 32 games for Liam Rosenior’s team, which narrowly missed the playoffs. Known for his pace, skill, and trickery, Philogene tormented defenders and has attracted Premier League interest. Romano believes Palace may struggle to secure a deal due to Ipswich and Everton’s determination to sign him.
**Jaden Philogene Attracts Multiple Bids**
The Hull City player is wanted by at least three Premier League clubs.
Philogene was bound to attract attention after his impressive Championship performance, and now several Premier League clubs, including Ipswich and Everton, are vying for his services. Ipswich has had a £35 million double bid accepted for Philogene and Jacob Greaves, while Everton has reportedly made a bid of around £16 million. It remains to be seen which club Philogene will join before the Premier League season starts.
**Romano: Philogene’s Future Will Be Clear “In The Next Hours”**
The winger faces a significant decision regarding his future.
Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, Romano revealed that Palace had Philogene on their shortlist, but Ipswich and Everton’s persistent efforts might see Palace miss out. He said:
“They [Palace] are working on several options, several possibilities. Philogene from Hull City was one of the names they had in the shortlist, but we know it’s a big fight there with Ipswich and Everton trying until the end, with Aston Villa having matching rights.
“So I think in the next hours, the case of Philogene will be definitely clarified, with the player deciding on his favourite option.”
**Philogene Would Suit Any Interested Party**
The former Aston Villa player could fit seamlessly into most teams.
As a potential replacement for Michael Olise, Philogene could be an excellent choice for Palace. At 22, he is a homegrown talent with 88 first-team appearances, and he impressed in his breakthrough season with Hull. Rosenior even called him “unbelievable.”
Philogene’s natural flair and Championship experience make him a valuable addition. Palace has successfully recruited young talents from the Championship before, like Olise and Eberechi Eze.
Everton, on the other hand, needs creativity. While Dwight McNeil and Jack Harrison are efficient and hardworking, the Toffees lack wingers with flair and pace. Philogene would bring much-needed panache to Goodison Park as the club approaches its final season in L4.
