Former Aston Villa starlet Jaden Philogene is sought after by several Premier League clubs.

The 22-year-old has been impressing in the Championship with Hull City this term.

Now transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano claims the 22-year-old may be set for a move, given his contract expires in two years.

Speaking shortly after signing Philogene, Hull City vice-chairman Tan Kesler said: "If we [are] promoted (to the Premier League), Villa have the right to buy him back for 15 million.

Having said that, if we have another offer that's worth more than 15 million then we would have the right to discuss it, it's not like we're forced to sell to Villa but they would have the first choice."

There is no suggestion that Villa are among the teams pushing to sign Philogene in the summer.
