Jayden Bogle has started 30 Championship games for Frank Lampard’s Derby, but is he heading to the Premier League with Brighton or Burnley?
Premier League pair Brighton and Burnley are interested in signing the Derby County defender Jayden Bogle this summer, as reported by the Sun (24 March, page 59).
At the age of just 18, Bogle has established himself as a key player in a fresh-faced Rams team with their eyes firmly fixed on a Championship play-off place.
The Reading-born defender has started 30 league games for Frank Lampard’s team, shining alongside fellow youngsters Mason Mount, Fikayo Tomori and Harry Wilson.
As a result, the teenager has allegedly caught the eye of several Premier League clubs with Burnley and Brighton and Hove Albion interested.
The report adds that Seagulls boss Chris Hughton has sent scouts to watch Bogle of late. Burnley are also big admirers but are reportedly keen on Chelsea’s Reece James, too, the Wigan Athletic loanee who has been in fabulous form at the DW Stadium.
The Sun (13 January, page 59) reported that Derby were demanding £8 million for Bogle and it remains to be seen if they are willing to cash in this summer.
Lampard may be under pressure to raise funds through player sales with the club in a precarious financial situation.
