That’s according to The Athletic reporter Adam Leventhal, who claims that the Tractor Boys have had a fee in the region of £15 million accepted for the standout centre-back, with an extra £3 million worth of add-ons.

The Tigers' man is set to sign a five-year deal at Portman Road, with a medical with the Suffolk club already being passed.

The Premier League new boys were set for a double swoop of the City pair this summer, before Villa activated a matching rights clause in Philogene’s contract that put the deal on hold.
