addressed.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea are thought to still be in the market for a centre back, whilst they are said to want to add another midfielder and attacker.<\/p>\n<h2>Aston Villa won\u2019t let Morgan Rogers leave cheaply<\/h2>\n<p>Despite signing four attackers last summer in Joao Pedro, Liam Delap, Alejandro Garnacho and Jamie Gittens, the Blues are seeking more creativity.<\/p>\n<p>Pedro is the only one to have delivered any form of success this season, and Chelsea are said to be looking for a creative attacker.<\/p>\n<p>The Blues are believed to have admiration for Rogers, but TEAMtalk have reported Villa won\u2019t let the England international leave cheaply.<\/p>\n<p>The report adds any sale would need to exceed the \u00a3100m they sold Jack Grealish to Manchester City for, with Florian Wirtz\u2019s move to Liverpool seen as a good benchmark.<\/p>\n<p>TEAMtalk state Villa\u2019s stance for now is he\u2019s not for sale unless their demands are met by any potential suitor.<\/p>\n<p><span>Rogers has scored 12 goals and registered nine assists in 50 appearances in all competitions for Villa this season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>If you enjoy Chelsea News coverage and
