Lamare Bogarde: An in-depth look at why Brighton are interested in Aston Villa's versatile midfielder

This issue has clearly been acknowledged by the Seagulls, as evidenced by their interest in Aston Villa's Lamare Bogarde, as revealed by The Brighton Base.

But can Bogarde make an immediate impact? Can he be the man to replace Baleba?
