DEAL COMPLETED “I rejected Ipswich Town because..”- Aston Villa £13m new signing reveals why he snubbed Everton and Ipswich

Jaden Philogene expressed his excitement at the opportunity to play in the Champions League again after rejoining Aston Villa. The 22-year-old returned to Villa Park for a bargain price of £13m following his departure to Hull City for £5m last summer. Despite interest from Crystal Palace, Everton, and Ipswich Town, Villa emerged as the winners in the race to sign him.

Philogene impressed during his time at Hull, scoring 12 goals and providing six assists in 32 games as they finished seventh in the Championship. He is determined to make an impact at Villa this time around, aiming to showcase his skills and score goals in front of the fans.

Speaking about his return, Philogene said, “It feels amazing, it’s like I’m back at home,” adding that manager Unai Emery assured him of playing time and opportunities to prove himself on the field. With the potential departure of Moussa Diaby, Philogene has a chance to secure a spot in Emery’s plans.

His journey back to Villa Park marks a significant milestone in his career, fulfilling his childhood dream of playing in the Champions League. Philogene is eager to make the most of this opportunity and hopes to replicate his success at Hull with Villa.

The winger’s arrival is just the beginning of Villa’s transfer plans, with Amadou Onana set to join from Everton in a record-breaking deal. The team is gearing up for the upcoming season, with Philogene ready to make a strong impact on the pitch.
