Jaden Philogene is backing himself to make an impact at Aston Villa.
The England Under-21 international's five-year deal also signifies the confidence the club have in their returning academy graduate.
He was heading to Ipswich until Villa made their late move, triggering their option to match the Tractor Boys' £18m offer.
That Villa had the foresight to protect themselves and have matching rights - and a buy back option should Hull be promoted - shows how highly they rate the 22-year-old.
Philogene could have gone to Portman Road and been a regular starter for the newly promoted club but his ambition has taken him back to Villa Park less than 12 months after being sold.
