Jaden Philogene said he wants to play as much football as possible after completing his reported £20million move to Ipswich Town from Aston Villa on Wednesday. 

Philogene has agreed to a four-and-a-half-year deal at Portman Road just over seven months after returning to Villa on a permanent deal from Hull City. 

The 22-year-old made 15 appearances across all competitions for Unai Emery's side in the first half of the season, but started just four of those games. 

Philogene has yet to register a goal or an assist this term for the Villans, but offers Kieran McKenna another exciting addition in attack for the remainder of the campaign. 

During the 2023-24 season with Hull, Philogene netted 12 goals and laid on a further six assists in 32 Championship appearances, despite missing nine games with a knee injury. 

He also completed a team-high 87 dribbles for the Tigers, while he also created more chances (52) than any of his Tigers team-mates in the second tier. 

"I’m excited to be here, and I know there are great players in the squad," Philogene told Ipswich's website.

"I just want to play as much as possible. As a player, I like to dribble and link up play and provide goals and assists. I’m looking forward to it."

Philogene became the Tractors Boys' second signing of the January window after Ben Godfrey made the move from Atalanta on a six-month loan deal earlier this month.
