Morgan Rogers is rapidly establishing himself as one of the Premier League's most sought-after players, with Arsenal installed as favourites to sign the Aston Villa midfielder ahead of Manchester United this summer.
Transfer Odds and Favourites
Bookmakers have positioned Arsenal as clear frontrunners to secure Rogers' signature at 4/6 with bet365, while Sky Bet and Paddy Power offer 1/2 odds. However, Arsenal may face an obstacle after Rogers previously declared 'there is no team bigger' than Manchester United.
Rogers' Form and Value
The 23-year-old has been among Villa's finest performers over the past two seasons, contributing 14 goals and 12 assists across all competitions this campaign. Such form has attracted attention from Arsenal and United, with Villa reportedly demanding a fee exceeding £90 million.
Football.london understands Rogers features among the Gunners' priority targets, while the Manchester Evening News reported in early May that Old Trafford officials were considering a bid. Overseas reports suggest United have made contact with Villa to sound out a potential deal, while Arsenal have approached the player's camp.
Rogers' Comments Hint at Preference
Rogers' remarks from last December hint he may favour United if pushed to make a choice. Speaking after Villa's 2-1 victory over United, where he scored both goals, he said: 'It's massive. Every game is important, there's no bigger team than United.'
Despite the speculation, Rogers is not thought to be agitating for a transfer following Villa's Champions League qualification. When asked about the rumours, he told The Rest Is Football: 'I think the first time it ever happened it was [impactful]. But as you get older and gain experience, you know that 95 per cent of it is just noise.'
