Brighton are interested in signing the Aston Villa midfielder Lamare Bogarde during the January transfer window.

Meanwhile, the Netherlands midfielder will be hoping to play regularly at this stage of his career and Aston Villa have not been able to provide him with that opportunity. He has not started a game for the West Midlands club since the 5th of October. If Brighton can provide him with ample opportunities, he is likely to be attracted to the idea of joining them.

Brighton are yet to come forward with an official proposal to get the deal done and it remains to be seen whether they can submit an acceptable offer for the 21-year-old. If they manage to sign him for a reasonable amount of money, the deal could look like a masterstroke in the long term. The player has all the tools to develop into a quality performer in the top flight. Bogarde has been linked with Nottingham Forest in the past.
