Club ready to accept £15m for attacker as Everton prepare summer transfer - report

Hull City would be willing to sell Jaden Philogene this summer for a fee of around £15million amid interest from Everton, according to talkSPORT.

The outlet reported on its website on Friday (28 June) that Sean Dyche’s side are one of a number of Premier League teams interested in signing the former Aston Villa man this summer.

While reports have suggested that the Toffees are prepared to offer a package worth £16million to bring the 22-year-old to Goodison Park [Daily Mail, 28 June] it is understood a fee in the region of £15million will be enough for Hull to sanction a sale.

Will Jaden Philogene exit Hull City in summer transfer window amid Everton interest?

Attacking reinforcements have to be top of the agenda for the Toffees this summer as Dyche looks to help his side climb up the Premier League table and further away from the relegation zone next season.

Defensively, the Blues were incredibly sound for the majority of last season with the likes of James Tarkowski and Jarrad Branthwaite impressing pundits and fans alike and Vitalii Mykolenko showing signs of progress.

However, Everton were once again short of goals throughout the side. While Philogene will not single-handedly solve that problem, he has shown that even from outwide, he can carry a consistent goalscoring and creative threat.

It won’t be easy for him to make that step up to the Premier League, but at £15million, this could be a gamble worth taking for the Toffees as long as it doesn’t see them break any profit and sustainability rules.

Hopefully, a deal can be struck before any other sides enter the race and flex their financial power. At the moment, it seems that the Blues are leading the charge to bring him to the Premier League.
