Arsenal eyeing up a move for Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa
Briefly

Arsenal are reportedly pondering a summer move for Aston Villa attacking midfielder Morgan Rogers as injury to Kai Havertz creates a replacement need. Rogers produced 14 goals and 16 assists last season and won the PFA Young Player of the Year award, attracting interest from Chelsea and Tottenham as well. Aston Villa value Rogers highly and, after sanctioning Leon Bailey's departure, are unlikely to weaken their attack further. Villa are targeting Champions League qualification and would demand an absurd fee to consider a sale, while Unai Emery would be reluctant to lose a key player.
Rogers has been exceptional for Aston Villa over the last 12 months, and he has established himself as one of the best playmakers in the league. He was rightly chosen as the PFA Young Player of the Year as well. Chelsea have been linked with Rogers as well. The midfielder has also attracted interest from Tottenham. It will be interesting to see if Arsenal come forward with an offer to sign him.
They have already sanctioned the departure of Leon Bailey this summer, and they will not want to weaken their attacking unit further. It remains to be seen whether Arsenal can convince Aston Villa to sell the player. It is fair to assume that they will have to come forward with an absurd amount of money to convince them. Aston Villa are pushing for Champions League qualification, and losing one of their key players would be a major blow.
