The 19-year-old midfielder has just returned to Villa Park from a loan spell at Bristol Rovers and the Dons are reportedly keen on taking him to Pittodrie for the second half of the season.

According to reports, Aberdeen is interested in loaning their young player, Lamare Bogarde, to Aston Villa.

Now that the January transfer market has opened, Reds manager Barry Robson

is hoping to bolster his team in an effort to turn things around for the second half of the Premiership season.

Although Aberdeen is unlikely to be very active this month given that they bought

13 new players last summer, Robson has indicated that the team may try to

bolster if the appropriate player becomes available.

Furthermore, Aberdeen is eager to sign Dutchman Bogarde on a season-long loan, according to The Athletic. The 19-

year-old midfield player is anticipated to play away from Villa Park for the

majority of the season after returning from a second loan stint in EFL League

One with Bristol Rovers, where he made 18 appearances.

Bogarde, who was a part of the Villains U18 FA Cup winning squad in 2021, can

also play as a defender along with his preferred role as a central midfielder.

He joined the Premier League club from Feyenoord in 2020 and has since made six first team outings for Villa which

have all came in the EFL Cup and the FA Cup.

But according to the same source, Sunderland will compete with Aberdeen for Bogarde’s signature. Black Cats manager Michael Beale is a big fan of the player and had a working relationship with him while he was Steven Gerrard’s assistant manager at Villa.

Bogarde is a Netherlands young international who signed a contract with Villa Park that runs until the summer of 2025. Earlier this year, he earned his first cap at the U20 level.
