McKenna: No News on Philogene
Sunday, 12th Jan 2025 18:18

Boss Kieran McKenna says there’s no news on the Blues’ stalled move for Aston Villa forward Jaden Philogene.

Town and Villa have agreed a £20 million-plus-add-ons fee for the 22-year-old and the player a four-and-a-half-year deal, with the England U21 international understood to have passed his medical on Thursday.

However, the move is still to be finalised and McKenna said there was nothing new to report after the 3-0 FA Cup victory over Bristol Rovers.

“I still think the same,” McKenna said when asked if the situation had moved on from where it was when he was questioned about it at Friday’s press conference.

“He’s an Aston Villa player, there’s no news, no agreement as far as I know. I’m sure I’ll get updated if anything changes but no updates any different at the moment.”

Despite the lack of movement, we understand the switch is still expected to go through.
