Several teams are interested in Jaden Philogene, and TEAMtalk can confirm that Crystal Palace has made an offer to Hull City for the winger.
The 22-year-old’s future transfer is expected to be decided soon, as we exclusively reported on Manchester United, Tottenham, Everton, and Ipswich Town being interested in him.
It is said that Philogene received approaches for a contract from Everton and Ipswich, but the Tractor Boys were leading the competition to recruit him.
Barcelona also made Philogene a loan offer with a buyout clause, but the player has stated that he would love to play for a Premier League team.
“My dream is still La Liga, but I chose the Premier League because it is the clearest offer I have,” he stated in a recent interview that Fabrizio Romano shared on X.
“My dream team is Barcelona, and I hope to sign with them someday.” Neymar and Ronaldinho are my idols.
Crystal Palace advances in the race for the Philogene
In the fight for Philogene, Crystal Palace has made a significant move by putting in a serious proposal for the winger to Hull, sources exclusively told TEAMtalk.
The Eagles have not disclosed the amount they are willing to pay for the star. Sources characterise Ipswich as their principal adversaries in the fight for Philogene.
Oliver Glasner, who made a strong impression on Selhurst Park towards the conclusion of the previous campaign, has insisted that Palace find a compelling substitute for Michael Olise, who is expected to sign with Bayern Munich.
Philogene most definitely belongs in that group. He caught the attention of football fans worldwide earlier this year when he scored an incredible goal that many believe should have won the 2024 Puskas award. Technically speaking, though, it ought to have been recorded as an own goal.
The young player wasn’t a one-time event however; in 32 Championship games last season, he scored 12 goals and provided six assists.

Philogene is a player that Palace believes can be a vital member of the team for many years to come, and they anticipate that he will only get better with experience.
As evidenced by their recent acquisition of Adam Wharton from Blackburn Rovers, the London team has a strong history of developing players from the Championship into elite players.
Wharton was a standout player for the Eagles the previous season, and his abilities earned him a place on the England squad for Euro 2024.
The track record of Palace’s young players may factor into Philogene’s decision, which is anticipated shortly, as previously said.
