The Toffees are willing to pay around £16 million for Philogene, who impressed in the Championship last season with 12 goals and a stunning goal of the season contender.

As the transfer window heats up, Everton’s move for Philogene marks a significant development in their summer transfer plans. With the PSR deadline looming, the Toffees are working diligently to strengthen their squad while complying with financial regulations. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
