Jaden Philogene: Finding stability at Hull City
Jaden Philogene has come leaps and bounds since joining Hull City from Aston Villa last summer. The Englishman is a native of London and spent half a decade at the West Midlands club but could not establish a foothold in the first-team squad at Villa Park.
The 22-year-old was excellent in his debut season with Hull City, contributed to 18 goals in 32 EFL Championship outings by finding the back of the net 12 times and providing six assists. The youngster’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known clubs, including Barcelona, Crystal Palace, and Everton.
A man in demand
Recent reports have claimed that Barcelona made a loan-to-buy bid to secure Jaden Philogene’s services in the summer transfer window. The Catalan giants have been scouring the market for a wide attacker heading into the summer transfer window, with Nico Williams their top target. However, they are keeping their options open, with Philogene being a cost-effective alternative.
