Derby County have been handed a boost in the shape of highly rated youngster Jayden Bogle reiterating that he is “perfectly happy” at Pride Park amid reported interest from the Premier League, according to Derbyshire Live.

The right-back, who celebrated his 19th birthday earlier this week, has had a 12 months to remember, breaking into the Rams squad and becoming a first-team fixture en route to the Championship playoff final.

Bogle made 50 appearances in all competitions for Derby, including 43 in the league and playoffs, and registered an impressive nine assists, according to Transfermarkt. all of which contributed to him winning the club’s Young Player of the Year award.

Although the full-back committed his future to Derby by signing a new four-year deal in September, such a fruitful season despite his young age would invariably lead to speculation about his future.

Burnley and Bournemouth have both previously been credited with an interest in the England Under-20 defender, according to Derbyshire Live, while the Daily Mail claimed in June that Brighton & Hove Albion “held further talks” over a proposed £10million deal.

Despite the rumours, Bogle sought to allay fears over his future, in conversation with Derbyshire Live: “I’m perfectly happy at Derby. This is where I’m playing, this is where I’m playing my football.

“I try not to focus really about what’s going on behind the scenes. I just try to come in every day and do what I do, and work as hard as possible for the team and for myself.”

Under the tutelage of new manager Philippe Cocu, Derby get their Championship season under way away at relegated Huddersfield Town on Monday.
