There has been some fresh reports in the media which have again claimed that Chelsea want to sign Aston Villa midfielder Morgan Rodgers when the summer transfer window opens up in just a few months time.
Right now, all the talk at CHELSEA is about whether or not the Blues will be able to push on and get back into the Champions League places under Liam Rosenior, after former Boss Enzo Maresca had such a bad start to the Premier League season.
But that has not stopped the transfer speculation about players that could be coming into the club, as there are still a few areas of the pitch that the Blues board would like to improve over the next few weeks of the transfer window.
What is the latest regarding Morgan Rodgers?
According to Teamtalk, Chelsea have set their sights on potential transfer deals for two of England’s top young talents in the form of Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers and Arsenal’s Ethan Nwaneri.
Rogers has long been high up on Chelsea’s watch list, but Chelsea have been unable to get a deal done for the Villa star as they do not want to meet that £80 million asking price on his head.
What has been said about Rodgers going to Chelsea
Former Premier League star Emile Heskey recently opened up and claimed that Morgan Rodgers would be a fantastic signing for CHELSEA, amid talk they are looking to raid Aston Villa for the midfielder.
Heskey said: ‘It would be interesting as it’s another Manchester City player who might make their way to Chelsea, but I think he should spend another year at Villa, at least.
‘He’s going well, the club are on the up, and they could break into that top four this season. That’s a really big challenge and a good one for him, too.
‘I think if he did go to CHELSEA, he could be fantastic, but for Chelsea it might be overkill, buying players for the sake of it.”
Will Rodgers be open to a move to Chelsea?
Rodgers is brilliant on the ball and so tough to take it from him, he is a great player for Aston Villa and they will not want to lose a player that is so dangerous against pretty much any defence.
Villa do have some financial issues, but they will not want to start letting their best players go, otherwise it will be a step back from all the hard work from the past few seasons.
And to be honest, Rodgers is very happy at Villa right now and will not want to leave the club.
