“Another Done Deal in a few hours” Everton ready to splash £17M for world-class payer who is ready to terrorize the Premier League next season

Everton’s summer transfer activity shows no signs of slowing down, with Director of Football Kevin Thelwell leading the charge. Despite already securing three new signings, Thelwell is determined to bring in a winger to bolster Sean Dyche’s squad. Jaden Philogene, a 22-year-old talent from Hull City, has emerged as a top target, with Everton meeting with his representatives to discuss terms.

The transfer saga has been long and arduous, with various twists and turns keeping fans on the edge of their seats. Philogene’s future has been the subject of much speculation, with some reports suggesting he was bound for Ipswich Town, while others linked him to Everton and Crystal Palace. The latest update from The Daily Star (10 July, page 43) has shed some light on the situation, revealing that Ipswich have agreed to sign Philogene as part of a £38m double deal with Manchester City’s Liam Delap.

While Philogene’s preference for a move to Portman Road has been reported, Everton and Crystal Palace remain in the hunt, having met with his camp to discuss terms. The winger’s impressive form in the Championship last season, where he scored eight goals on loan at Hull, has made him a hot commodity. Barcelona were even linked to the young talent at one point, highlighting the intense competition for his signature.

Everton’s pursuit of Philogene has been ongoing for some time, with the club refusing to give up despite the complexities of the transfer saga. Thelwell’s determination to secure the winger’s services is a testament to his commitment to strengthening the Toffees’ squad. With Yaser Asprilla also on their radar, Everton are leaving no stone unturned in their search for the perfect addition to their attack.

As the transfer window continues to unfold, Everton fans can expect more twists and turns in the Philogene saga. Will the Toffees ultimately secure their man, or will Ipswich Town’s offer prove too enticing to resist? One thing is certain: Kevin Thelwell and Sean Dyche are working tirelessly to build a squad capable of success in the Premier League.
