Aston Villa have joined the race to sign Derby County defender Jayden Bogle, according to reports from TEAMtalk.
The defender, who was named Derby’s young player of the year last season, could be on his way out of Pride Park, with Premier League sides circling over a potential deal.
Newcastle, Crystal Palace, Brighton and Villa are all looking at a deal for Bogle, who came through the youth setup at the Rams.
TEAMTalk report that at least one of the teams looking at a deal for Bogle have made an approach, with clubs running out of time with the window slamming shut this Thursday.
The defender made 43 appearances for the Rams last season, scoring two goals in the process.

This could be an astute signing for Aston Villa if Dean Smith is able to get it done before Thursday.
Bogle was one of the key figures in Frank Lampard’s Derby team last season, helping them reach the playoff final.
Villa lost Alan Hutton over the summer, and with Ahmed Elmohamady and Frederic Guilbert the only real other options to play right-back, signing Bogle could add some more quality to the backline.
The Rams defender also looks to be one for the future, and was called up for England U-20s for the Toulon Tournament earlier this summer, making his debut during the 4-0 win over Guatemala.
Bogle could be a great buy for Villa, if they are able to get him for a decent price.
