Morgan Rogers is proof of how Jobe Bellingham could develop if he joined Aston Villa, according to Dan Bardell.
The 19-year-old has been linked with a move to B6 as the Villans look to go toe-to-toe with Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund and Arsenal for his signature [TBR Football].
The versatile midfielder has been a mainstay for Sunderland this season and is said to have a market value in the region of £16million [BILD].
Sky Sports and talkSPORT journalist Bardell has suggested that the England Under-21s international would be a positive signing but a move could be scuppered by Birmingham City links.
Speaking exclusively to Villa News, Bardell said: “I just can’t see him making that move.
“He and his family are Birmingham City fans and even though Villa would be a great move for his development, after seeing what Morgan Rogers has done, I just can’t see him making that move.

“It just isn’t ‘Brand Bellingham’, even for his brother, to play for Villa.
“*It would be interesting to see that deal happen, but I honestly think those Blues links will see him go elsewhere.*“
Morgan Rogers acts as Jobe Bellingham blueprint at Aston Villa
It came as a surprise when Unai Emery opted to bring the 22-year-old in from Middlesbrough last January but has proved to be a stroke of genius.
The England international has become a regular starter at Villa Park in a transfer option which must appeal to other young players.

The Villans will certainly hope that Bellingham sees B6 as an attractive proposition as the midfielder could represent a real coup given the level of interest in his signature.
