Top European Clubs Eye Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers
Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Paris Saint-Germain are all reportedly interested in signing Aston Villa's forward Morgan Rogers in the upcoming summer transfer window. Despite Rogers having signed a long-term deal with Villa until 2031, the club is expected to face significant interest in the player due to his impressive performances under Unai Emery's guidance. With five years remaining on his contract, Rogers is likely to be one of the most valuable players in the summer transfer market. Aston Villa is currently in a strong position, sitting fourth in the Premier League and on the verge of qualifying for the Champions League, which may impact their willingness to sell Rogers. The 23-year-old England international has been on the radar of top European clubs for some time, having scored 27 goals and provided 21 assists in 115 appearances for Villa since joining from Middlesbrough in 2024. This summer, Arsenal is seeking a new left-winger, and Rogers is among the candidates, along with Newcastle's Anthony Gordon and PSG's Kvicha Kvaratskhelia. Manchester United is also looking to strengthen their left-wing position, having already been linked with RB Leipzig's Yan Diomande and Everton's Iliman Ndiaye, and they are also admirers of Rogers. Chelsea may also be in the market for a new forward, while PSG is always looking to sign top talent, and Rogers could become an even more attractive prospect if he performs well for England at the World Cup in June. According to Sky Sports' Patrick Rowe, Rogers has developed into a fully-fledged England international on the cusp of superstardom, thanks in part to the freedom he has been given at Aston Villa to play in a fluid role off the striker. Rogers' unique blend of pace, power, technical ability, and precision has captured the attention of Europe's elite clubs, but he is not a traditional winger and thrives in a system that allows him the freedom to roam and create. If Villa were to sell Rogers, they would likely command a significant fee, similar to the £100m they received for Jack Grealish's transfer to Manchester City.
