"As I reported earlier in the season, the Blues have a strong interest in Rogers, and I'm told that that hasn't changed, with the Villa star continuing to impress. Rogers has seven goals and five assists in all competitions for Villa so far this season, and recently hit braces in consecutive games in wins over Wolves and Manchester United. Villa don't want to sell Rogers this January, but they also continue to face limits on their spending due to PSR concerns, which has Chelsea on alert."
"Even if the summer is more likely than this month, Chelsea are keeping an eye on Rogers as a possible target, according to sources with close links to the agents industry. It's an open secret that Rogers is high up on Chelsea's list, one source told me this morning. And unless something dramatic changes, Villa will be under pressure to sell. This would be a big-money sale that could have a significant impact on their finances."
"I can also confirm Chelsea are really keen on Arsenal's Ethan Nwaneri, as first reported by Simon Phillips on his Substack here. My understanding is that Arsenal's stance is that Nwaneri won't be sold, but there are plenty of figures in the industry confirming that Chelsea remain keen after first trying for him in the summer."
Chelsea are targeting two young Premier League players: Morgan Rogers of Aston Villa and Ethan Nwaneri of Arsenal. Rogers has contributed seven goals and five assists this season and scored braces in consecutive wins over Wolves and Manchester United. Aston Villa do not want to sell in January but face spending limits from PSR rules that could force sales unless Champions League qualification improves finances. Chelsea view a summer transfer as more likely but remain alert for January opportunities. Arsenal maintain a stance that Nwaneri will not be sold, yet Chelsea have continued interest after earlier approaches.
