Jaden Philogene transfer: Aston Villa ready to sanction Everton deal

Aston Villa are ready to sanction a move for Jaden Philogene to Everton in the winter transfer window, according to the Daily Mail.

The newspaper reports in its print edition (8 January, pg 65) that the Englishman has been made available for sale in January.

The Blues have revived their interest in the 22-year-old after being rejected by him in the summer of 2024 in favour of a return to Birmingham.

Now, the Merseysiders are looking to complete a permanent deal for the attacker in the coming weeks.

Everton need Jaden Philogene transfer in January

The Toffees have struggled in the final third this season, scoring the second-fewest goals in the entire Premier League.

Sean Dyche is known for his defensive nous, leaving the Goodison faithful frustrated with what they are seeing in the final third yet again.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been handed the responsibility of leading the line for most of the campaign, but the striker has been missing his shooting boots once again.

Everton also have Beto in their ranks, but it seems like the Guinean's future lies away from Goodison Park.

Armando Broja has been handed some opportunities after returning from injury, but the Albania international has failed to make an impact yet with another issue picked up recently.

Iliman Ndiaye, along with Dwight McNeil, has been one of the bright sparks for the Merseyside outfit.

Leeds United loanee Jack Harrison has struggled to do much, and the Toffees could do well with strengthening their options in that position.

Whether Philogene will complete a move to Merseyside in the coming weeks remains to be seen.

In other Everton news, backing has been given for an "excellent" long-term deal as big-money news emerges.
