Agents offer Jaden Philogene update to West Ham United after Everton transfer bid accepted
Jaden Philogene’s agents are keeping West Ham updated on his situation after three bids were accepted by Hull, according to HITC.
Writing on their website (8 July), the news outlet report that Everton, Crystal Palace and Ipswich have had bids accepted for the talented winger with Fabrizio Romano [5 July] claiming a decision from the player is “expected soon”.
But the Irons, Aston Villa, Newcastle and Nottingham Forest also all have an interest in the 22-year-old and his agents are keeping them in the loop on any deal in case they choose to make a late swoop.
West Ham United to hijack move for Jaden Philogene?
West Ham have been active in the summer transfer market already, completing three deals to strengthen Julen Lopetegui’s squad.
Luis Guilherme arrived from Brazil, Wes Foderingham bolstered the goalkeeper department and top defensive target Max Kilman was signed from Wolves in a £40million deal too.
But there is more work to be done on the squad and before the Premier League season starts, and the attack is an area that desperately needs some attention.
Michail Antonio is wanted in Saudi and the MLS [Athletic, 15 May], while Danny Ings has been linked with a move away too and Maxwel Cornet is likely to move on.
Philogene is ready to step up from the Championship and the last time the Hammers took someone from Hull like that, they became the club’s best player. This is definitely one to watch.
