Jaden Philogene has completed his return to Aston Villa on a permanent deal.
The winger, who joined Hull City from Villa in 2023, had been wanted by Ipswich and Everton this summer, with both clubs agreeing deals with the Championship side.
However, Villa triggered a clause that allowed them to match those bids and the 22-year-old is heading back to the club where he came through the youth ranks and made three Premier League appearances.
Philogene scored 12 goals and came up with six assists from 32 appearances for Hull last season. There is an appearance-related clause in his transfer back to Villa which incentivises game time – a priority for Philogene at this stage of his career.
Hull also have a sell-on clause in the deal.
