Chelsea are pushing to seal a deal for Morgan Rogers for a package worth £117 million, in what would be one of the summer's biggest transfers. The England international, who had long been considered a target for Arsenal, now looks set to join their London rivals.
Details of the Mega Transfer
The deal, reported by Mirror Sport, sees Chelsea strike a £117m agreement with Aston Villa for the 23-year-old forward. This would make Rogers one of the most expensive signings in Premier League history, reflecting his rapid rise since joining Villa from Middlesbrough in 2023.
Arsenal had been favourites to sign Rogers, but Chelsea's late move has swayed the player and the club. The Gunners are now set to miss out on a player they had scouted extensively.
Impact on Chelsea and Arsenal
For Chelsea, this signing bolsters their attacking options under new manager Enzo Maresca. Rogers, who can play across the front line, has been in impressive form for Villa and England. For Arsenal, missing out on Rogers is a significant blow as they sought to add depth to their squad ahead of the new season.
More details are expected to follow as the transfer progresses. Mirror Sport will bring the very latest updates, pictures, and video as soon as possible.
