Aston Villa youngster Lamare Bogarde will sign a new contract with the Premier League giants later today.
Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano reports that the 20-year-old is seen as a key player for the future at Villa Park and will sign a new contract.
Nottingham Forest had a bid rejected for the youngster in June and the defender reportedly sees his long-term future at Aston Villa.
Aston Villa manager Unai Emery is also eager to retain Lamare Bogarde, due to his ability to play both as a centre-back and a holding midfielder.
Bogarde is not expected to be sent out on loan for the coming season.
