According to a report in the Daily Mail, Brighton and Hove Albion have held further talks over a £10 million move for Derby County right-back Jayden Bogle.

The Rams supporters, however, have suggested on Twitter that Derby should be holding out for more for their talented academy graduate and only sell if it means bringing back loan star Fikayo Tomori.

Bogle broke into the Derby first-team early in the campaign, displacing the more experienced Andre Wisdom.

As the season progressed, the 18-year-old showed exactly why he is considered one of the most promising right-backs in the country as he posted an impressive two goals and nine assists in the Championship.

Brighton are said to be pushing for his signature this summer, but Derby fans have laughed off the £10 million figure branded in the media while considering the prospect of re-signing Tomori.

Tomori was a massive hit at Pride Park this past season. The central defender moved on a season-long loan deal from Chelsea an became the first loan player to win the club’s Fans’ Player of the Year award.

Chelsea have the likes of Kurt Zouma who is ahead of Tomori in terms of talent to break through, yet they will have seen the player’s quality over the past 12 months and likely value him highly.

The likelihood of Derby signing him permanently this summer is slim. However, any cash they can generate through sales of other players may boost their chances and Bogle is their prized asset right now.
