Philogene Makes Triumphant Return to Villa from Hull.

Aston Villa has brought back England Under-21 winger Jaden Philogene from Hull City, just under a year after selling him to the Tigers.

Jaden Philogene has signed a five-year contract with Aston Villa after they matched Ipswich Town's £18m offer for the 22-year-old. Due to a 30% sell-on clause, Hull City will receive about £13.5m of the fee.

Although Ipswich was set to sign Philogene, Villa had the right to match any offer as part of the original agreement with Hull. Villa are also close to signing Everton midfielder Amadou Onana for £50m.

Philogene had shown interest in moving to Portman Road before Villa's late offer. He returned from Hull's training camp in Turkey last Friday and had a medical on Monday. 

Initially left at home by Hull, he eventually flew out to briefly join his teammates.
