Chelsea Agree £117 Million Deal to Sign Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa
Chelsea are set to complete the signing of Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa after reaching an agreement on a £117 million transfer.
The Blues are understood to have seen their bid accepted by Villa, with the 23-year-old now expected to undergo a medical on Monday before putting pen to paper on a long-term contract.
Chelsea moved quickly to secure Rogers’ signature amid interest from several top clubs, including Arsenal, who had also been monitoring the England international. However, the West London club has won the race for one of the Premier League’s most highly rated young attacking talents.
Rogers enjoyed an impressive campaign with Aston Villa, establishing himself as one of the league’s standout performers thanks to his pace, creativity, and versatility in attack. His performances attracted interest from several European giants, but Chelsea’s ambitious project ultimately convinced the player to make the move to Stamford Bridge.
If completed, the transfer will rank among the biggest deals of the summer transfer window and further underlines Chelsea’s determination to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season.
An official announcement is expected once Rogers successfully completes his medical examinations and finalizes the remaining paperwork.
