Chelsea Target Aston Villa Midfielder Morgan Rogers

Mark Brus reported that Chelsea are keen on signing Aston Villa midfielder Morgan Rogers this summer. The Blues are reportedly targeting the English playmaker in the current transfer window. Rogers featured in 55 matches for Aston Villa last season across all competitions. He contributed 14 goals and 12 assists during that campaign. The England international’s contract with Villa Park runs until the summer of 2031. The long‑term deal could make a cheap move difficult for Chelsea. Rogers is noted for powerful, precise long‑range shooting and for delivering killer passes in and around the penalty area. He is also a strong dribbler who can both score and create important goals. Primarily an attacking midfielder, Rogers can also operate on either wing. His versatility would add quality and depth to Xabi Alonso’s frontline at Stamford Bridge. At 23, Rogers is described as having his best years ahead and capable of earning a regular starting role for the West London club. His arrival is expected to help Chelsea compete for a European place in the Premier League. Rogers was seen in Tampa, Florida on 6 June 2026 ahead of England’s friendly against New Zealand at Raymond James Stadium. The England international’s presence underscores his standing in the national team setup.
