Whether or not the Tigers are promoted to the Premier League, Hull City owner Acun Ical iliis optimistic that his team will be able to keep Jaden Philogene.

At the conclusion of the summer transfer window, the Humberside-based team signed the gifted winger for a reported £5 million. The Championship team considered the addition to be a huge coup, and several standout performances this season have supported this opinion.

With 23 games this season, the 22-year-old has eight goals and six assists, and his play has earned him a call-up to the England under-21 squad. On Friday night, he opened the 5-1 victory over Azerbaijan, scoring a goal and adding another assist to cap off a fantastic campaign.


Premier League teams are naturally starting to take notice; in recent weeks, Tottenham Hotspur and former team Villa have both been linked. Although they included a £15 million buy-back clause in his move last summer, the West Midlands team does have that, but it will only be activated if Hull is in the top division the following season.

Nevertheless, Tigers owner Ilicali is unconcerned, pointing out that the Philogene is content with his life at MKM Stadium. As said by the Turk to The Mirror:

Every player ought to be where they’re pleased, in my opinion. I’m sure Aston Villa won’t let us down if Jaden decides to stay with Hull City if we go to the Premier League.

It took us about a month to complete the transaction, but as I previously mentioned, the players are inspired by our unwavering determination and insane club administrators. One of the players I spoke with, Jaden, I believe I had an impact on his choice. I thought he should have a sense of family when I watched him being loaned to several teams.

We applaud the Villa family for providing us with this young potential, and instead of loaning, we offered Aston Villa a buy-option to sell him to us. It took us a month, but the outcome was favorable. In the last phase of the transfers, we give the players assurance that

It appears that Acun Ilicali is producing something exceptional at Hull City. Premier League football appears to be returning to the MKM Stadium under his leadership, as seen by the positive vibe he has fostered within the team.

He is clearly creating something, based on the caliber of players he has drawn in this season. Philogene seems to be having fun at the team, so if the Tigers do get promoted, it would be surprising to see him go back to Villa, especially since he might end up becoming Unai Emery’s bit player.
