Everton have agreed to sign Hull winger Jaden Philogene for a reported £16m.

The Toffees showed interest in the 22-year-old last month and now appear to be the frontrunners for the sought-after Englishman.

Philogene, who scored 12 goals in 33 games for Hull last season, is believed to be keen on a move to Goodison Park.

Newly promoted Ipswich had hoped to secure a deal for the England Under-21 international, while Crystal Palace was also reportedly interested.

Hull owner Acun Illicati mentioned that La Liga giants Barcelona also showed genuine interest in signing Philogene.

Philogene would become Everton's fourth signing of the summer, following Tim Iroegbunam, Jack Harrison, and Iliman Ndiaye.
