Jaden Philogene has officially made his return to Aston Villa, coming back to Villa Park just a year after departing for Hull City. During his time at Hull, he demonstrated his talent by scoring 12 goals and providing six assists, narrowly missing out on the Championship play-offs in the 2023-24 season.
Due to his impressive performances, Philogene attracted significant interest this summer, with both Everton and Ipswich Town vying for his signature. However, Aston Villa activated a clause to match their offers, ultimately convincing Philogene to rejoin the Midlands club after discussions with manager Unai Emery.
In his first interview since the move, Philogene expressed his excitement about returning home, highlighting the positive conversation he had with Emery regarding playing time and his role within the team. With a five-year contract in hand, the winger is determined to replicate his success at Hull by exciting fans with his skills and contributing goals to Villa’s cause.
Describing the opportunity to play for Aston Villa as a dream come true, Philogene emphasized his ambition to showcase his abilities in front of the supporters and strive towards achieving his childhood goal of competing in the Champions League.
