Former Cardiff winger Philogene set to join Everton
Former Cardiff winger Jaden Philogene is set to join Everton after the Premier League club reached an agreement with Hull to sign him for a reported £16m.
Everton had expressed an interest in signing Philogene last month, and the 22-year-old is believed to be keen on a move to Goodison Park.
Ipswich and, according to Hull owner Acun Illicati, La Liga giants Barcelona were also interested in signing the in-demand Englishman, who scored 12 goals in 33 games for the Tigers last season.
Signed by former boss Steve Morison, Philogene spent the 2022-23 campaign at Cardiff on a season-long loan from Aston Villa before joining Hull last summer.
He now looks set for a proper go at Premier League football, having made just two substitute appearances in the top flight during his time with Villa.
Philogene would become Everton's fourth signing of the summer after Tim Iroegbunam, Jack Harrison and Iliman Ndiaye.
