According to a report by Give Me Sport, Chelsea are now sensing an opportunity to sign highly-rated Aston Villa attacking midfielder Morgan Rogers. However, they will have to pay £90 million for him.
Rogers has been outstanding for Aston Villa this season, and he could prove to be an exceptional acquisition for Chelsea if they can get the deal done. The Englishman has already piqued the attention of several Premier League bigwigs with his exploits for the Villans.
The 22-year-old English midfielder has 14 goals to his name in all competitions, and he has 15 assists as well. He could prove to be the ideal acquisition for Chelsea next season. The Blues need more quality and depth in the final third, and the 22-year-old could transform them going forward.
The English international is capable of operating in the central attacking midfield role as well as on the flanks. His versatility will be an added bonus. Chelsea have been overly dependent on Enzo Fernandez and Cole Palmer for creativity. They need more support in the final third, and Rogers would be the ideal acquisition.
The Aston Villa playmaker is well settled in the Premier League, and he could make an instant impact at Chelsea next season. Meanwhile, the Blues have secured UEFA Champions League qualification for the next season, and they need better players to do well in Europe.
Rogers is certainly an elite prospect with a bright future, and signing him would be a major statement of intent from the club. Chelsea need to improve their defensive unit and bring in a quality striker as well. It will be interesting to see if they are willing to spend £90 million on the Aston Villa player.
Meanwhile, the West Midlands club will want to hold on to their best players. Aston Villa have secured European qualification, and they will look to fight for trophies next year. Selling Rogers might not be on their agenda this summer.
