Aston Villa have had a strong season in the Premier League this season \u2013 last time out, they trounced 2024\/25 Premier League champions Liverpool by a score of 4-2. One player has been at the heart of their efforts \u2013 none other than England star Morgan Rogers. <\/strong><\/p>\n As such, his excellent performances in the current campaign have attracted the attention of some of the Premier League\u2019s biggest clubs. According to a report from TalkSPORT, Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United and PSG have registered an interest in the player.<\/p>\n This could have ramifications elsewhere. If Rogers leaves the club, Villa could make a move for Marcus Rashford, who is current on loan at Barcelona from Manchester United (via BBC Sport).<\/p>\n Regardless of other clubs\u2019 intentions, Rogers will not leave Villa without commanding a sizeable transfer fee. He is under contract at Villa Park until the summer of 2031, having signed a lengthy contract extension late last year. Therefore, the Villans are under no pressure to sell.<\/p>\n Rogers has been an excellent creative and goalscoring threat for Villa this season. He has notched up 17 goal contributions in the Premier League during the current campaign \u2013 only a handful of elite stars can boast of a higher tally than this.<\/p>\n Not only this, he can also play in several positions. He is at his best when fielded as an attacking midfielder, but he\u2019s perfectly capable of playing on either wing or as a central midfielder.<\/p>\n He is at his best when operating in the half-spaces just outside the box. There, he can whip in dangerous crosses or fire off shots from distances \u2013 he has scored a number of spectacular goals from these areas in 2025\/26.<\/p>\n Out of all the clubs interested in a move for Rogers, Chelsea are in the most dire straits as things stand. The Blues haven\u2019t won a Premier League game March 4, when they defeated \u2013 funnily enough \u2013 Aston Villa. <\/p>\n Would Rogers want to move to Chelsea? He would have to compete with Cole Palmer for a spot in the team, assuming Palmer doesn\u2019t leave the club in the summer. Should the former Manchester CIty academy graduate secure a transfer away from Stamford Bridge, Rogers would be a fantastic like-for-like replacement.<\/p>\n Manchester United, meanwhile, have a strong selection of attacking midfielders at their disposal. Bruno Fernandes is their main man, but Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha can also function as number tens \u2013 therefore, bringing Rogers on board seems redundant. <\/p>\n PSG have some of the best players in the world at their disposal. For all of Rogers\u2019 talents, he is several classes below the likes of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Desire Doue.<\/p>\n This just leaves Arsenal. While Mikel Arteta doesn\u2019t factor in an attacking midfielder into his preferred setup, Rogers could thrive on the wings for the Gunners.<\/p>\n With Gabriel Martinelli having underwhelmed this season and Leandro Trossard looking likely to leave, it makes sense for Rogers to join the club. He would still have to compete with Eberechi Eze, but he has vastly out-performed the former Crystal Palace man this season.<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Aston Villa have had a strong season in the Premier League this season \u2013 last…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10686,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10685","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chelsea"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10685","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=10685"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10685\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/10686"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=10685"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=10685"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=10685"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Morgan Rogers 2025\/26 Premier League Stats<\/h2>\n
