Spurs & Chelsea to battle for 80m Villa star
Briefly

Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea are both targeting Aston Villa attacking midfielder Morgan Rogers as the transfer window approaches its close. Both clubs have also shown interest in Xavi Simons and could turn to Rogers if that move fails. Chelsea would reportedly need to offer more than £80 million to have a realistic chance of securing Rogers. Tottenham consider him a suitable replacement for the injured James Maddison but may struggle to meet Villa's valuation. Arsenal's interest has cooled after signing Eberechi Eze. Interest in the England international is growing, though no advanced deals exist yet.
Tottenham and Chelsea are both in the market for similar players as we edge closer to the end of the transfer window, and that's led them both to Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers. The 23-year-old attacking midfielder shone in the Premier League last season and sources close to the agents industry have now provided CaughtOffside with some information about his future.
Chelsea's interest is becoming serious, but they'll need to offer more than 80 million to have a real chance of landing him, one leading source told CaughtOffside. Another source added that Tottenham view Rogers as the perfect profile to help them replace the injured James Maddison, but a few leading figures we consulted were unsure if Spurs could realistically meet that 80m asking price.
