Hull City winger Jaden Philogene has been linked with a move away from the Championship club and the likes of Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur could battle it out for his services this summer.

According to TEAMtalk, Manchester United are looking to sign the player this summer, but they will face competition from the North London club who are keen to improve their attacking unit.

Tottenham have the 22-year-old Hull City winger on their shortlist and it remains to be seen whether they can win the race for his signature. The highly-rated winger scored 12 goals in the Championship last season and picked up six assists along the way. He could transform Tottenham in the final third with his pace, flair and ability to find the back of the net. Tottenham need more cutting edge in the final third if they want to compete with the top clubs.

They failed to secure a top-four finish last season and Tottenham will be desperate for Champions League qualification in the upcoming season. They will look to push for domestic trophies as well. Signing the right players will help them do well and Philogene would be a quality long-term investment.

Similarly, Manchester United need more quality on the flanks as well. Jadon Sancho is likely to be sold this summer and the Hull City winger could be his replacement. Antony has been quite mediocre since joining the club as well, and it remains to be seen whether the Brazilian is shown the door before the new season begins.

The 22-year-old will be tempted to prove his quality in the English top flight and the likes of Tottenham and Manchester United will be attractive destinations for him.
