According to a report from Fichajes, Chelsea are keen on acquiring the services of Morgan Rogers, who has established himself as one of the best young forwards in the Premier League. The Blues are confident about signing the English international in a deal that will be worth in excess of £100 million.
Aston Villa signed Rogers from Middlesbrough at the start of 2024. They identified his massive potential and decided to bet on him. The move has certainly worked out in their favour, as the 23-year-old has been one of their standout performers in recent seasons.
In the ongoing campaign, he has 10 goals and seven assists in his 38 outings across competitions. While he prefers playing as a number ten, Rogers is equally effective on either flank. His impressive rise has put him on the radar of quite a few top clubs.
Chelsea are one of the clubs that are keen on acquiring his services, as Liam Rosenior looks to build a formidable attack that can help them win the Premier League. He feels Rogers could help them take the next step. The English manager, who took charge mid-season, seems to have big plans for the Blues ahead of the summer.
He dreams of having an attack, where Estevao takes charge on the right flank, Cole Palmer features in the number ten role, Joao Pedro up top and Rogers on the left flank. The Chelsea manager is pushing for the 23-year-old’s signing, and the Blues are ready to do everything in their power to land him.
Chelsea chief Joe Shields, who took him to Manchester City back in the day, is now keen on bringing him to Stamford Bridge. While a potential transfer won’t be that easy, the London club are willing to break the bank for him.
Rogers is an integral part of Unai Emery’s team, and he has no intentions of sanctioning his departure. The Birmingham-based club value him at over £100 million. Despite the high price tag, Chelsea are still willing to make a move. They are ready to sanction the departure of Alejandro Garnacho and Liam Delap to fund the move.
While Villa have no intentions of negotiating his departure, the Blues remain confident as they feel they can tempt the 23-year-old with a significant financial offer, a great project and an important role in the team.
