Nottingham Forest 'submit offer' for Aston Villa ace as Wolves youngster 'open' to leaving club

England have now played the last of their group games at Euro 2024, as the Three Lions laboured to an eye-wateringly dull 0-0 draw against Slovenia in Group C. Let’s take a quick break from that - here’s a look at some of the biggest rumours surrounding Aston Villa and Wolverhampton Wanderers today.

A young Villa ace is said to be the subject of a £4 million transfer bid from Nottingham Forest. The two parties are thought to be in ‘advanced talks’ - it looks increasingly likely that he will leave the club in the summer transfer window.

Meanwhile, a Wolves youngster has revealed that he’s open to a loan move away from the Molineux Stadium ahead of next season. So far, it remains to be seen where he will be plying his trade in the 2024/25 campaign.

Nottingham Forest submit £4 million offer for Aston Villa’s Lamare Bogarde

Lamare Bogarde is one of Aston Villa’s brightest young players - however, he may not be with the club for much longer. According to a report from Football Insider, he is the subject of a £4 million bid from Nottingham Forest and the two parties are believed to be in ‘advanced talks’.

While Bogarde has not made any Premier League appearances at this stage in his career, he has made his senior team debut for the Villans in the FA Cup - notching up two assists along the way.

Additionally, Bogarde has also enjoyed two loan spells at Bristol Rovers in League One. He made 31 appearances for the Gas overall, but failed to score a single goal during his stint in Bristol.

Wolves academy star Nathan Fraser open to loan move in the summer

Nathan Fraser burst onto the scene last season for Wolves, after progressing through the club’s youth ranks. Despite this, he has not established himself as a regular first-team starter yet - as such, to get the amount of games that he desires, he is open to a loan move away from the club.

In the 2023/24 season, Fraser made seven appearances in the Premier League for Wolves, alongside two appearances in the FA Cup and two in the League Cup. His greatest successes came in domestic cups, where he netted two goals and notched up one assist in four games.

Speaking in an interview featured on Wolves’ official club website, Fraser said: “I definitely want to be playing as much as I can, whether that’s here or on loan. At the age I am, I need to be playing regular football to develop, whether that’s here or anywhere else, and I’m excited to see where it is.

“When you don’t go on loan [in the January transfer window], it’s hit and miss whether you’ll get opportunities, because you never know with a squad as strong as this.

“It’s been up and down, changing throughout the season, with how much of a role I’m playing. It’s been good experience, being in all different situations within a first-team, so it’s definitely been a lot to learn from.”
