Hull's Philogene poised to re-join Aston Villa

Hull winger Jaden Philogene is expected to re-join Aston Villa after their late move for the England Under-21 star.

The 22-year-old is flying back from Hull's pre-season training base in Turkey and should finalise a move over the weekend.

He is due to sign a five-year deal after less than 12 months away from Villa Park.

Villa made a late move to hijack Ipswich's bid to sign Philogene after the Tractor Boys agreed an £18m deal with the Tigers.

Unai Emery's side triggered their matching rights option to equal the offer for Philogene, who came through the Villa academy.
