Chelsea have been showing interest in many attackers right now. One of them is English star who ended the 2024/25 season with 27 goal contributions. But, the Blues are not the only club keeping tabs on him as reported by Fabrizio Romano.
Chelsea have already started making big moves in transfer market. They signed Liam Delap as new striker for £30 million. But, the Blues are unwilling to stop there in terms of attacking stars. They want a new winger as well as versatile attacker.
As for winger, the Blues are showing interest in left winger. They have parted ways with Sancho whereas Mudryk has been banned. As of now, Jamie Gittens is their top target to take that spot. On the other hand, Nkunku and Felix are set to depart. Hence, Maresca wants a versatile attacker to replace them.
The West London giants are linked with many players. They have Ekitike and Joao Pedro as top targets. Another player who is on the radar of the Blues is Morgan Rogers. He is 22 year old English star who currently plays for Aston Villa.

Chelsea not the only club interested to sign Morgan Rogers
Rogers can play on both wings as well as an attacking midfielder. In addition, he can also serve as striker when needed. He is only 22 years old and fits perfectly in Chelsea’s project. Lastly, he scored 14 goals and picked 13 assists last season and hence has already displayed his quality on top stage.
“Many top clubs are following Morgan Rogers. Aston Villa insist they don’t want to sell but let’s see what happens in the next days and weeks as he has many suitors” – Fabrizio Romano on his youtube channel.
Hence, it will not be easy for Chelsea to sign Morgan Rogers. They will have to beat many clubs in the race. Here they may fall short as they can’t guarantee regular game time due to high squad depth. On the other hand, Villa rate Rogers very highly. Hence, they will demand a very high transfer fee which may cause troubles for the Blues in terms of PSR.
