Villa value Rogers at a minimum of £80m but a bidding war is likely to drive that price to around £100m.

He came off the bench to play the final 18 minutes in England's 4-2 World Cup win over Croatia on Wednesday.
The big debate before the tournament was over who would start in the number 10 role.
