According to talkSPORT, Arsenal are preparing to ramp up their efforts to sign Rogers this summer.
It is understood that Mikel Arteta is personally driving the club’s push to bring the attacking midfielder to the Emirates.
Initial talks between Arsenal and Rogers’ representatives are also believed to have already taken place.
However, Arsenal are expected to face strong competition for the 23-year-old’s signature, with Chelsea and Manchester United also interested.
Villa are reportedly demanding at least £80m to consider a sale, although the fee could rise closer to £100m due to the growing interest from multiple clubs.

A move for Rogers could also place further doubt over the futures of Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli, with Arsenal expected to sanction several departures this summer to fund new signings.
Rogers’ current contract at Villa Park runs until 2031.
Arsenal are expected to step up their plans as the summer transfer window approaches, with the club continuing to hold internal discussions over potential targets. Mikel Arteta and Andrea Berta are both believed to be actively assessing several options as preparations for next season continue behind the scenes.
