Aston Villa re-sign Jaden Philogene for £18m just 12 months after selling him to Hull - as English winger snubs Ipswich to return to boyhood club

Aston Villa have re-signed winger Jaden Philogene on a five-year deal, 12 months after he left the club to join Hull.

The 22-year-old Villa academy graduate spent time on loan at Cardiff and Stoke before moving to the MKM Stadium in the summer of 2023, going on to make 32 Championship appearances and scoring 12 goals, including a stunning 'Rabona' finish against Rotherham in February.

Ipswich had reportedly agreed an £18million deal to sign Philogene last week but a clause in the original sale to Hull gave Villa the right to match any bid, with the player choosing a return to his former club over a move to the newly-promoted side.
