Fabrizio Romano says Arsenal have begun talks with Aston Villa attacker Morgan Rogers' representatives.
He said: "For Aston Villa it will be very difficult to keep Morgan Rogers. They understand there will be plenty of clubs interested. I expect several clubs to be at the table.
"For sure, Arsenal. They are one of the clubs interested and from what I understand, they already had some direct contacts with the agents of Rogers."
It's thought Villa will demand a minimum of £80million for the in-demand England international who could yet cost £100m or more.
