Morgan Rogers insists he’s happy at Aston Villa amid transfer links to other Premier League clubs.
Rogers has been linked with both Arsenal and Tottenham this week, as well as Chelsea and Liverpool earlier in the summer, after a sensational first full season at Villa Park.
He is even hotter property after winning the PFA Young Player of the Year award this week.
Speaking to The Times, he said: “I’m happy here.
“I love football. I love nothing more than just coming out on the pitch and playing football and that’s what I’m doing. I don’t think about anything else.
“I can’t predict the next 12 months or anything in the future. It’s just about playing football, enjoying my football and showing everyone what I can do.”
Arsenal were said to be considering making an audacious transfer bid for the 23-year-old this week, while Tottenham are understood to view him as the “perfect” transfer after losing out on Eberechi Eze to the Gunners.
Speaking after receiving the PFA Young Player of the Year award, Rogers said: “It means a lot, especially coming from the players that voted, playing against them.
“For them to acknowledge me as doing well this year, it hits different and it’s a different kind of feeling. It’s really nice. I’m so happy and so grateful that I managed to win this, and hopefully many more.
“Later down the line, I want to be one of them incredible players that people speak about, so to do that I’ve got to do what they did and what they followed after.
“It’s a nice recognition but there’s more to win, and I can’t wait. It’s my turn to show what I’m about, and I’m just looking forward to it.”
Rogers added: “The fact it’s happened quick has helped me. Everything’s just coming thick and fast and I’m trying to do what I can on the fly and just try and enjoy it and live in the moment.
“Maybe one day I’ll look back on it all and dissect it and how it came about, but right now I’m just living life, enjoying it and just taking every day and keeping a smile on my face and moving forward.
“It’s all happened so quickly and so fast, but I suppose that’s down to hard work and ambition which I’ve always had, and a dream and still trying to live that dream. It’s a really nice moment and I just want to keep going.”
