this season, helping the club win the Europa League, including with a goal in the final victory over Freiburg this week.<\/p>\n<p>In total, the 23-year-old has an impressive tally of 14 goals and 12 assists in all competitions for club and country, so it seems only a matter of time before Villa lose him to one of Europe\u2019s elite.<\/p>\n<h2>Morgan Rogers for \u00a380m is potential transfer bargain of the summer<\/h2>\n<p>While \u00a380m is not exactly cheap, it looks like a seriously good price for such a fine player who is only going to keep on getting better.<\/p>\n<p>Rogers should in theory be nowhere near his peak yet, and when you look at the money Liverpool paid for Florian Wirtz last summer, \u00a380m really looks extremely generous.<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal, Chelsea, and Man Utd could all do with strengthening in attack, with Rogers capable of playing out wide or as a number 10.<\/p>\n<p>Given his form, price, the stage of his career he\u2019s at, and what he\u2019d bring to interested clubs, it\u2019s hard to imagine a better market opportunity than this.<\/p>\n<h2>Morgan Rogers Transfer Fit rating<\/h2>\n<p>Running Rogers to Arsenal, Chelsea, and United through our Transfer Fit rating system, this gives us perhaps our highest score ever\u2026<\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\"><strong>Morgan

ahead.<\/p>\n<p>First, the England international has the World Cup to think about, and if he performs well there it will be interesting to see if that convinces Villa to raise his price a bit.<\/p>\n<p>Rogers is in the England squad over Chelsea\u2019s Cole Palmer, so perhaps he could also be the ideal replacement for him at Stamford Bridge next season.<\/p>\n<section
