Everton exploring permanent move for Aston Villa star after he rejected them last summer - as Sean Dyche looks to fix his side's creativity issues

Everton have revived interest in Aston Villa winger Jaden Philogene.

The 22-year-old rejected Everton and Ipswich in the summer to return to Villa from Hull City but is available this window with Everton exploring a permanent deal.

Philogene has made 15 appearances across all competitions for Villa this season, but has largely been used off the bench by Unai Emery.

He could now get the opportunity for more game time at Goodison Park as the Toffees aim to secure their Premier League status ahead of moving into their new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock this summer.
