Philogene is returning for a fee of around £13million just 11 months after leaving for the Tigers for £5m, after Villa triggered a clause allowing them to match any bids received from Premier League clubs for their academy product this summer.

The 22-year-old underwent a medical on Monday and was back at the club yesterday to finalise paperwork.
