Barcelona linked with shock move for Hull City winger Jaden Philogene
Barcelona are being linked with a move for Hull City winger Jaden Philogene as a low-cost alternative to Nico Williams.
Relevo and Cadena SER are reporting that Philogene is the club’s ‘Plan B’ and talks have begun over a possible loan move with a purchase option.
Despite playing for Championship side Hull, Philogene has bizarrely been linked with top clubs previously. He signed for Hull last summer for £5 million from Aston Villa who are thought to have a buy-back option on the winger.
Philogene played 32 times for Hull City last season, scoring 12 goals and bagging six assists for the Tigers.
He’s best known for scoring a brilliant rabona effort against Rotherham that was tipped to win the Puskas award – until it was noted it took a tiny nick and the Football League decided it must go down as an own goal.
Philogene isn’t the only winger in England being linked with Barcelona today. Diario Sport are also claiming Jadon Sancho has been offered to the Catalans giants on loan, although his salary is likely to be an issue.
