The Championship club have seen Philogene's stock rise since a move from Aston Villa.

The Midlands club can buy back the 21-year-old for a set fee of around 15 million, IF both teams are in the same division.

For the moment, I consider the team successful. It was ranked 21st when we bought it. Of course, we haven't achieved the success we dreamed of, but this business is like climbing a ladder," Ilicali told Sabah.

It has been like that in my own career. I want to climb the stairs step by step in our England adventure. I can't give a deadline because neither fast nor slow will make me happy. I want us to climb slowly.

Thank God, we are currently making 1 to 3 and 3 to 5 in transfers. You will buy it for 5m, it will be 30. You will buy it for 10, it will be 50. We need to achieve this. This will be our policy.

Just like Real Madrid bought Arda Gler. We can guess how much he'll be from now on. We need to catch players like that. We got Jaden Philogene for 5m, now he's 30m. But we have no intention to give him away for 30.

"Ozan is not a potential player due to his age (29). We received three offers from Turkey. But there was no offer from England. Years ago we used to play FM (Football Manager) a lot. When you look at it, I am experiencing the truth of this right now, but the truth is difficult."
