Ipswich Town could reignite their interest in winger Jaden Philogene during the January transfer window, reports Sky Sports News.

The Blues were close to signing the 22-year-old from Hull City back in July as part of a £35m double deal involving centre-back Jacob Greaves.

In the end it was just Greaves who arrived at Portman Road. That's because, after a long-running saga, Philogene ended up returning to Aston Villa after his former employers activated a 'matching rights' clause included as part of his £5m departure the previous summer.

Philogene has made just two Premier League starts for Villa in the first half of the season, plus a further nine appearances off the bench.

McKenna is keen to bolster his attacking depth following a season-ending injury for winger Chiedozie Ogbene and significant set-back for striker George Hirst.
