AliousCrystal Palace Joins Premier League Race for Hull City’s Jaden Philogene
Fabrizio Romano reports that Crystal Palace is one of three Premier League clubs showing interest in Hull City’s rising star, Jaden Philogene.
The 22-year-old winger is prioritizing a move to England’s top flight this summer, with a potential transfer to Barcelona now deemed “complicated and unlikely.”
Despite Barcelona’s interest in a loan-to-buy deal worth £16-19 million, Philogene appears set on continuing his career in the Premier League.
Romano reveals that Crystal Palace, Ipswich Town, and Everton have already submitted proposals for the talented youngster.
Philogene’s impressive Championship campaign last season, where he netted 12 goals and provided six assists in 33 appearances, has caught the eye of several top European clubs.
His performances helped Hull City finish seventh, narrowly missing out on the playoffs.
For Crystal Palace, securing Philogene could be crucial as they face the potential departure of Michael Olise to Bayern Munich.
Manager Oliver Glasner will be keen to reinforce his attacking options, with Philogene seen as a potential replacement for the outgoing French star.
Hull City, who signed Philogene for approximately £5 million last summer, are poised to make a significant profit on their investment.
However, they remain reluctant to part with their “attacking talisman” who has become integral to the team in just one season.
As the transfer saga unfolds, Crystal Palace is also eyeing other targets.
Fabrizio Romano reports that Sunderland’s Jobe Bellingham is considered a “dream target” for the Eagles, while Club Brugge forward Antonio Nusa is another candidate to fill the void left by Olise.
With the transfer window entering a crucial phase, Crystal Palace faces stiff competition in their pursuit of Philogene and other targets as they look to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.
