In order to improve their roster for the upcoming season, Tottenham Hotspur is aggressively seeking new players. According to TEAMtalk, they have their sights set on Hull City winger Jaden Philogene during the summer transfer window in order to achieve this.
Due to a lack of depth in the roster, Ange Postecoglou’s team witnessed a decline in performance following a stellar start to the season. Spurs want to assemble a strong team and fill the voids in order to increase their chances of winning the Premier League..
Jaden Philogene has solid numbers
Last summer, Jaden Philogene signed a £5 million contract to join Hull City after earning prominence at Aston Villa. He settled quite fast and started turning up strong performances for his new team. This season, he has appeared in 20 games, scoring eight goals and dishing out six assists.
Tottenham Hotspur are leading the race
The fact that Jaden Philogene is a reliable and adaptable player makes Tottenham Hotspur’s pursuit of him wise. His versatility allows him to be positioned in a variety of ways to suit the needs of the team, strengthening its depth. Richarlison and Son Heung-min will be able to play more pivotal roles as a result.
For Spurs, the 22-year-old may also be a long-term investment. Despite having a £15 million buy-back clause, Aston Villa can only use it in the event that Hull City is promoted to the Premier League. Given that the second-tier team is now ranked sixth in the EPL Championship, that seems far off in the distance.
Philogene will fit perfectly in the Spurs’ attacking style of play as he is a skilful player. With a high work rate, he can contribute to both aspects of the game. It will be interesting to see if Spurs manages to lure him away or not in the summer.
