Jaden Philogene-Bidace Transfer from Aston Villa to Ipswich Town

Jaden Philogene, aged 22, with 15 appearances in all competitions this season, has been transferred from Aston Villa to Ipswich Town during this winter transfer window. He joined Aston Villa just six months ago for 16 million euros and has now been sold for 23.7 million euros to Ipswich Town, a club newly promoted to the Premier League. Philogene has signed a four and a half year contract, extending until June 2029.

Jaden Philogene, a 22-year-old left winger, has permanently left Aston Villa to join Ipswich Town. The transfer fee and the terms of the contract were not disclosed. Philogene has participated in 15 games for Aston Villa this season, 11 of which were in the Premier League, without scoring any goals.

Jaden Philogene had been offered to FC Barcelona last summer but ultimately stayed in English football. Aston Villa signed him from Hull City for 16 million euros in July 2024. However, he struggled to secure a place under Unai Emery's management at Aston Villa, which led to an agreement with Ipswich for his transfer for 20 million pounds (23.9 million euros). According to the BBC, the deal is pending the player's medical examination. Philogene attracted interest from European football and LaLiga, but Ipswich's manager Kieran McKenna played a significant role in his decision. Ipswich had previously reached an agreement with Hull, but Aston Villa exercised their buy-back option after initially transferring him to Hull in 2023. Philogene had limited opportunities at Aston Villa, starting in only four games.

Despite the interest from Everton, Aston Villa winger Jaden Philogene is set to depart for Ipswich during this winter transfer window. Convinced by the call from Tractor Boys' coach Kieran McKenna, the young English international, who has been underutilized at Aston Villa, will join the promoted team in a transfer valued at 26 million euros, excluding bonuses, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.

Ipswich Town is also considered as an interested club in Jaden Philogene, although FC Everton currently seems to be leading.

Ipswich Town is reportedly interested in acquiring Jaden Philogene. 'Sky Sports' indicated that the Premier League newcomers remain keen on securing the services of the English winger. Ipswich Town had previously shown interest in the 22-year-old during the summer, but Aston Villa exercised a preemptive right to acquire Philogene from Hull City for 16 million euros. Despite his potential, Philogene has experienced limited playing time under Unai Emery at Aston Villa, and with the club pursuing Dortmund's Donyell Malen, his opportunities for more minutes appear limited. This situation could allow Ipswich Town to renew their interest and make another attempt to sign the promising winger.
