Everyone believed Arsenal were the club that would get the signature of Aston Villa forward Morgan Rogers this summer, but Chelsea hijacked the transfer with a record £117 million deal. It seems Rogers has given up on European football to head to Chelsea rather than Arsenal. The player is expected to sign a six-year contract with an option for seven years.
Another British Transfer Record Broken
Morgan Rogers is set to undergo his medical on Monday when he returns from America. He will become the most expensive British player, beating Eliot Anderson’s £116 million deal to Man City earlier this summer. This transfer will also set a new high for Chelsea, whose record signing was £115 million for Moses Caicedo in 2023.
Rogers is an England international who has 21 caps and made five appearances at the World Cup. At 23 years of age, Rogers has a bright future; Chelsea have shown they want the best players, regardless of not having European football. This deal has shown great intent from Chelsea, who have demonstrated they still want to be the best team in England.
