Morgan Rogers opens the door for Chelsea move this summer

Despite his pivotal role in Aston Villa’s push for European consistency, Morgan Rogers is reportedly ready to test the club’s resolve as interest from Chelsea intensifies.

Morgan Rogers has already tallied eight goals and five assists in 31 appearances. His ability to drive through midfield transitions and create chances, recording ten big chances created this term, has made him indispensable at Villa Park.

However, this form has inevitably caught the eye of Chelsea’s recruitment team, who view the 23-year-old as the ideal physical profile to bolster Liam Rosenior’s attacking unit.

But, as is the case with most signings this summer, Champions League football may hold the key to Chelsea signing players of Rogers’ calibre this summer.

Remember: Enzo Fernandez will not be available…

Morgan Rogers open to leaving Aston Villa

According to a report from The Sun, Rogers wants to be part of a team that is consistently pushing to win major trophies.

There is also an understanding between Rogers and Villa bosses that this summer is probably the right time to part ways.

The attacking midfielder has a healthy relationship with manager Unai Emery and other Villa Park higher-ups, and hopes they will not stand in his way if the right offer comes in.

It’s claimed that a deal for Rogers is likely to exceed £80million – and could even surpass the £100m.

Would you get rid of Enzo Fernandez this summer?🤔

Give your reason!

Morgan Rogers would be a welcome addition

Signing Morgan Rogers would be a gamble that addresses Chelsea’s need for physical ball-carrying but risks further bloating an already expensive squad.

Seeing Enzo Fernandez leave in the summer could open up a central role for Morgan Rogers.

However, with a reported price tag and his recent long-term contract extension at Villa Park, the financial outlay is massive. Chelsea already possesses a wealth of young attacking talent, and bringing in Rogers could stifle the development of incoming starlets like Dastan Satpayev.
