Brighton and Burnley are reported to be keen on Derby County right-back Jayden Bogle after he established himself in the first team.
The Sun claim Brighton and Hove Albion boss Chris Hughton will send scouts to watch the 18-year-old, who was released by hometown club Reading as a youth player.
Hughton is understood to be looking for a young defender and has been impressed with Bogle during his breakthrough season with the Rams.

The teenager has made 38 appearances this term to date, all but one of them starts, keeping the more experienced Andre Wisdom out of the team and establishing himself as Frank Lampard’s first-choice right-back. Fellow top-flight outfit Burnley are also reportedly interested in Bogle but both clubs have also eyed an alternative target – Chelsea youngster Reece James, who is spending the season on loan with Wigan Athletic.
