Tottenham leading race to sign 22-year-old winger who recently went viral after scoring ‘ridiculous’ goal | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur are now leading the race to sign the Hull City winger Jaden Philogene who recently scored that stunning rabona.

Ange Postecoglou has not been shy towards bringing in young talent since he landed in north London and it seems he already has another in his sights.

The young winger has enjoyed a standout campaign in the Championship with the Tigers as they target promotion, but he could land Premier League football either way for next season.

Tottenham eyeing Jaden Philogene

According to a report by TeamTalk, the Lilywhites are the side who lead the race for the 22-year-old winger ahead of the summer.

But there will be competition for his signature as the report claims a number of clubs in England and abroad have already earmarked the winger.

And a potential move in the summer could be made difficult due to the believed buy-back clause Aston Villa have in his current deal.

Philogene only joined Hull in the summer and it is said his contract has a complex £15m buy-back clause for Villa which includes certain specifics.

However, many will be aware of the sensational rabona goal he recently scored which went viral and saw manager Liam Rosenior describe it as ‘ridiculous‘.

Postecoglou eyeing young talent

The likes of Lucas Bergvall have already been snapped up by the Lilywhites with the Australian manager seemingly keen to rediscover the club’s faith in youth.

However, many fans will be keen to see some of their own youth products provided with an opportunity in the first team as the U21s continue to impress.

With no game for the first-team over the weekend, the U21s were rewarded with the chance to play at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

And they certainly entertained the fans with an impressive 6-0 victory which saw some really impressive displays.

Jamie Donley and Will Lankshear were two of those standouts performers with journalist Alasdair Gold even likening their displays to that of Harry Kane and Heung-min Son.

There is still a lot to play for in the league for Spurs which may hinder their chances under Postecoglou, but it is apparent there is a lot of talent emerging from the Tottenham academy.
