Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester City are reportedly interested in signing 22-year-old English international Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa this summer.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Morgan Rogers has garnered a growing market in the Premier League heading into the summer transfer window. Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester City are keen on signing the Aston Villa playmaker. Meanwhile, the English international is open to seeking a new adventure, with the West Midlands outfit demanding around £90 million to part ways with him.
The rise and rise of Morgan Rogers
Morgan Rogers has established himself as one of the best players in the Premier League since joining Aston Villa from Middlesbrough in February 2024. The Englishman hit the ground running in the second half of the 2023/24 season but has stepped up considerably in the ongoing campaign.
The 22-year-old has amassed 14 goals and 13 assists in 51 appearances across all competitions thus far in the 2024/25 season. Meanwhile, Rogers has piqued the attention of several high-profile Premier League clubs with his exploits for Aston Villa. Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester City are among the prospective suitors vying for his signature heading into the summer transfer window.
A man in demand
The English international is not the only Aston Villa player on Arsenal’s radar, with the Gunners also setting their sights on Jacob Ramsey. However, the interest in Rogers is understandable, considering his ability to reprise multiple roles behind the striker. The Aston Villa playmaker’s productivity makes him an appealing target for Arsenal.
Meanwhile, Chelsea’s interest in Morgan Rogers makes sense. The Blues are keen on reinforcing their offensive unit in the summer transfer window by signing a productive attacker in the summer transfer window. So, the Aston Villa playmaker is an option worth considering for Chelsea.
As for Manchester City, Kevin De Bruyne will depart from Etihad as a free agent in the summer transfer window, creating a gaping hole in the creative unit at the Premier League club. So, Rogers is a viable target for Manchester City. The latest update has boosted the three bigwigs’ prospects, with the player open to embarking on a new adventure in the summer transfer window.
However, the 22-year-old Englishman will not come cheap, with Aston Villa demanding around £90 million to part ways with him. The West Midlands club’s asking price might deter his prospective suitors. So, it will be interesting to see if a deal worth £90 million sees the light of day amid his links with Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester City.
