Winger Philogene completes return to Villa from Hull

Aston Villa have re-signed England Under-21 winger Jaden Philogene from Hull City less than 12 months after selling him to the Tigers.

He has signed a five-year contract after Villa matched Ipswich Town's £18m offer for the 22-year-old.

Hull will receive about £13.5m of the fee because Villa had a 30% sell-on clause in the agreement that took him to the Tigers last September.

The Tractor Boys looked poised to recruit Philogene but as part of the deal that saw him join Hull, Villa were able to match any offer for the forward.

The club are also close to signing Everton midfielder Amadou Onana for £50m.
