West Ham United are keeping a close eye on Hull City winger Jaden Philogene, with the player’s agents keeping the Hammers updated on his situation.
According to HITC, three bids have been accepted by Hull City, with Everton, Crystal Palace, and Ipswich Town all making offers for the 22-year-old.Fabrizio Romano has reported that a decision from Philogene is expected soon, but West Ham, Aston Villa, Newcastle United, and Nottingham Forest are all still in the running to sign the talented youngster.
Philogene’s agents are keeping all interested parties informed, should they choose to make a late move for the player.West Ham have already been active in the transfer market, signing Luis Guilherme, Wes Foderingham, and Max Kilman to strengthen Julen Lopetegui’s squad. However, the attack is an area that still needs attention, with Michail Antonio wanted in Saudi Arabia and the MLS, Danny Ings linked with a move away, and Maxwel Cornet likely to depart.
Philogene is ready to make the step up from the Championship, and West Ham will be hoping to repeat their success in signing Jarrod Bowen from Hull City in 2020. Bowen has since become a key player for the Hammers, and they will be hoping Philogene can make a similar impact.The Hammers are in need of a boost in attack, and Philogene’s pace and skill on the wing could be just what they need. With the new Premier League season fast approaching, West Ham will be looking to finalize their squad and prepare for a strong campaign under Lopetegui’s leadership.
