Hull owner has already named Jaden Philogene price tag as Everton ‘prepare’ £16m bid

Everton FC is preparing a £16 million bid to sign Jaden Philogene from Hull City, but the Tigers’ owner, Acun Ilicali, has stated that he values the young winger at £30 million.

Philogene has impressed in the Championship, scoring 12 goals and recording six assists in 32 games, attracting attention from top Premier League clubs like Tottenham Hotspur and Barcelona.Ilicali’s valuation of Philogene is not surprising, given his impressive performances and potential for growth. The Hull City owner has a vision for the club’s future success and wants to capitalize on Philogene’s value. Everton, however, may need to reconsider their offer to meet Ilicali’s demands.The Toffees are eager to strengthen their attacking options this summer, having already agreed to sign Jack Harrison on loan from Leeds United and closing in on Iliman Nidaye from Marseille. Philogene’s addition would bolster their frontline, but negotiations with Hull City may prove challenging.

As the transfer window heats up, Everton’s pursuit of Philogene marks a significant development in their summer transfer plans. With the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) in mind, the Toffees must navigate the market carefully to avoid financial breaches. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
