Ipswich Town have climbed into pole position ahead of Everton in the race to sign Hull City’s Jaden Philogene this summer, sources have told Football Insider.
The Premier League new boys face strong competition from the Merseysiders to secure the 22-year-old’s signature, but it’s the newly promoted club that are in the driving seat.
Hull City have accepted bids from both clubs, with Ipswich currently working on a £35million double deal that includes Jacob Greaves.
Sources say that Philogene has told friends he prefers Ipswich’s proposal over what Everton have offered.
The medical team is on stand-by to complete formalities of the transfer.
Football Insider revealed that Greaves was booked in for his medical earlier this week after he agreed a five-year contract with the Tractor Boys.
