Hull City boss Liam Rosenior is convinced that the ‘magnificent’ Jaden Philogene can reach the very top level with Premier League giants Aston Villa retaining a buy-back option in the winger’s contract. - As far as Rosenior is concerned, it’s about time Hull City got the credit they deserve.You don’t lure the likes of Fabio Carvalho, Liam Delop, Tyler Morton, Anass Zaroury, Jean-Michel Seri and Abdulkadir Omur to Humberside without possessing quite the ambitious streak. Or, for that matter, a reputation for building up and developing players in need of a fresh start and a new challenge. See Jadon Philogene, for example.The £5 million summer signing from Aston Villa has blossomed into one of the Championship’s most feared forwards at Hull, scoring or assisting 12 goals in just 16 second-tier appearances.
Aston Villa have buy-back clause in Hull star’s contract“We have players who come here with great names. They’re a great calibre of player, good footballers,” Rosenior tells Hull Live ahead of Tuesday’s trip to rock-bottom Rotherham United.
“They have not come here for financial reasons. They could have got more money elsewhere. They’re here because they believe in a project. They believe in a style of play, they believe in this football club.
“It’s amazing because Tyler Morton had a really good season at Blackburn last season. He’s developed and improved. Liam Delap did ok at Preston and Stoke, now everybody’s talking about him.
“Jaden was at Cardiff and Stoke (on loan). His numbers weren’t great in terms of goals and assists but now, all of a sudden, his numbers are, so something must be happening here.
