Philogene joins Hull squad in Turkey

Aston Villa and Ipswich target Jaden Philogene has joined his Hull team-mates on their pre-season trip to Turkey.

The 22-year-old was initially left behind by the Tigers after Villa matched Town's £18m offer earlier this week.

But the England Under-21 international has now re-joined the squad at their training base Riva, just north of Istanbul.

Villa sold the 22-year-old to the Tigers last September but retained a buy-back option under certain conditions.

It is understood Villa inserted a clause meaning they would have three days to match any bid once a deal had been agreed.

Newly promoted Ipswich had their £18m offer accepted by Hull and Villa moved to bring Philogene back to Villa Park after less than a year away.

He came through the academy at Villa and made just six appearances before moving to the Tigers.
