Ipswich Town have submitted a £30 million-plus double bid for Hull City duo Jacob Greaves and Jaden Philogene, according to Pete O'Rourke of Football Insider.

The Blues have already looked at centre-back Greaves, who was named in the Sky Bet Championship Team of the Season for 2023/24. They've been keen to stay firm on their valuation of the 23-year-old, with West Ham and Everton reportedly keen on signing him this summer.

The report claims that the Hammers were 'close to agreeing a deal' for him, but talks ended up stalling, allowing Town to make their move.

Philogene, on the other hand, has been attracting significant interest from Premier League clubs, with Spanish giants FC Barcelona also linked. The versatile winger, who registered 12 goals and six assists last season, was a target for Ipswich before he joined the Tigers from Aston Villa in September 2023.

Back in April, Hull owner Acun Ilicali claimed that it would take a bid north of £25 million to sign the 22-year-old.

Town have made two signings so far this summer, adding Omari Hutchinson on a permanent deal from Chelsea before adding Ben Johnson on a free transfer from West Ham.
