Aston Villa midfielder Morgan Rogers has a connection to stay away from the club during the summer window, and Chelsea is now keen to sign him.
According to the general manager’s report, they would love to make an offer to the 23-year-old midfielder. However, they will have to offer more than £80m to have any chance to complete the deal.
Rodgers has ties with Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal. The Spurs also kept the label on Rogers.
Chelsea can use Morgan Rogers
The 23-year-old is a key player in Aston Villa and they don’t want to lose him easily. He scored 14 goals for them last season and scored 16 assists. He was selected as the PFA young player of the year and there is no doubt that if they can close the deal, he will be an excellent long-term acquisition for Chelsea.
If they want to fight for the main trophy, Chelsea has been very active so far and they need to improve their roster this season. A quality organizer like Rogers signs on the cake. They have introduced two quality strikers, such as Liam Delap and João Pedro. They need someone to create more opportunities for them and Rogers will be a good acquisition. Chelsea relied too much on Cole Palmer’s creativity and technical abilities in the last third.
Rogers may want to move to Chelsea
At the same time, the opportunity to join Chelsea will also be very exciting for Aston Villa midfielder. Chelsea is one of the largest clubs in the world and they can provide him with a platform to fight for trophy. The Blues recently won the Conference League and FIFA Club World Cup. They will be an attractive destination for most players.
They can play the best role in the 23-year-old and help him realize his potential. They will be able to provide him with Champions League football this season, and regular football in Europe can help midfield improve. Whether Chelsea can convince players this summer remains to be seen.
