Philogene returns to Villa Park less than 12 months a꧃fter departing for Hull, where he scored 12 goals in the Championship last season.
The winger came t♔hrough the academy ranks at Villa, before making six senior appearances while also having loan spells with Stoke City and Cardiff City.
The England under-21 international is Unai Emery's fifth signing ahead of the 2024-25 season, following the arrivals of Enzo Barrenechea a🎐nd Samuel Iling-Junior from Juventus, along with Ross Barkley and Lewis Dobbin.
"🧸It feels amazing, it's like I'm back at home," he told the club's official website. "Unai spoke to me face-to-face and we had a very good conversation about my playing time.
"He said I did well when I was🃏 here in pre-season last year and that I♈'m going to get chances this time. It also depends on me and how I play.
"It's the latest chapter in my Villa jour🃏ney, and hopefully I 🔯can play my best, get game time and do it in front of the fans. What I did at Hull, I want to do the same things at Villa Park; make the fans aware of my skills and score goals.
"It's a dream come true. When I was a litt꧋le boy, I wanted to play in the Champions League. I've always thought I want to be there one day and here I am."
