Morgan Rogers, 23, became a key player for Aston Villa after joining from Middlesbrough in February 2024 and has earned six England caps since. He started 37 of Villa's 38 Premier League games last season and a further 12 in their Champions League campaign. Rogers has been linked with Chelsea and Tottenham during the transfer window, but he states he is happy at Villa and focused on playing and enjoying football. He says he cannot predict the next 12 months and concentrates on showing everyone what he can do. Rogers credits manager Unai Emery for giving him trust, challenge and confidence to flourish.
"I'm happy here," he said. "I love football. "I love nothing more than just coming out on the pitch and playing football and that's what I'm doing. I don't think about anything else. "I can't predict the next 12 months or anything in the future. It's just about playing football, enjoying my football and showing everyone what I can do."
"The manager giving me loads of trust and playing me through the good and the bad times really helped," Rogers added. "I'm not always going to be perfect, everything's not always going to come off the way I play. It's not possible for everything to work and for it to be a good day all the time, but the manager had that belief in me."
