Aston Villa midfielder Morgan Rogers has been linked with a move away from the club during the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Give Me Sport, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Tottenham are interested in Morgan Rogers, but Aston Villa are set to price him out of a summer exit. The 23-year-old attacker is valued at £80 million, and it remains to be seen whether any club is willing to pay up for him.
There is no doubt that the Englishman is an exceptional talent with a bright future. However, he is still largely unproven at the highest level. No club will want to pay over the odds for him. Aston Villa value him highly, and they are ready to demand absurd amounts of money to keep him at the club. It remains to be seen how the situation develops over the next few days.
Arsenal, Chelsea, and Tottenham ken
Arsenal have been linked with Morgan Rogers, and they could certainly use someone like him. The English international is capable of slotting into multiple attacking roles, and he will add creativity and goals to the side. Arsenal looked mediocre in final third last season, and improving in that area of the pitch could finally help them win the league title.
As far as Chelsea are concerned, they have been overly dependent on Cole Palmer for goals and creativity. They could use more depth, and signing the 23-year-old could be ideal. He is capable of operating both centrally and on the flanks. Rogers will help open up goal-scoring opportunities for his teammates.
The Englishman is capable of scoring goals consistently as well, and he found the back of the net 14 times last season. The midfielder is an excellent creator as well, and he registered 16 assists in all competitions last season.
Finally, Tottenham are keen on signing Rogers as well. They have several injury problems in the attacking unit, and it is no surprise that they are keen on the 23-year-old. In addition, Spurs lost the battle for Eberechi Eze’s signature to Arsenal.
Rogers could solve most of their attacking problems. It will be interesting to see if they can convince Aston Villa to sell the player for a reasonable amount of money. It remains to be seen how the situation develops. As things stand, all three clubs are likely to face frustration in their pursuit of the Aston Villa star.
