The 23 year old would also consider a move abroad.<\/p>\n<h2>Morgan Rogers moving out of Chelsea\u2019s reach after recent events<\/h2>\n<p>Interest in Rogers made a lot of sense a year ago, but now? We\u2019re not so sure. He\u2019s at a team who will be playing in the Champions League, and just won the Europa League. In addition, Aston Villa look better set up to win trophies next season than Chelsea.<\/p>\n<p>Can we see him pushing for a move away to join Arsenal or Man U? Yes. To join Chelsea? Not so much. And that\u2019s before you get to the issue of his massive price tag, which is sure to put lots of people off.<\/p>\n<h2>In other news\u2026<\/h2>\n<p>Marc Cucurella has gone from being one of Chelsea\u2019s most engaged players to one of the least \u2013 it\u2019s time to sell him, according to one journalist.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea\u2019s top 5 rated players from the season tell you the full story about how the campaign went.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL CHELSEA NEWS APP FOR ALL THE LATEST UPDATES \u2013 STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE!
