“We know he would be the dream signing for Chelsea if they were able to prise him away from Aston Villa,” he told Football Insider.
“The Blues are big admirers of Rogers and see him as somebody who could add quality to their squad.
“They’ve been keeping tabs on his development for a long time and would love to bring him to Stamford Bridge this summer.
“I think the price tag will put off clubs, because they’re looking for in excess of £80million.”
Will Chelsea decide to submit an offer for Morgan Rogers?
It will be interesting to see if Chelsea decide to test Aston Villa’s resolve with an offer in the coming weeks. If they manage to get the deal done for Rogers, it would be a masterstroke. Even though the asking price might seem expensive, the player could justify the outlay in future.
Chelsea are among the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to join them could be exciting for the midfielder as well. He will be able to compete at the highest level with them and test himself in the Premier League. He would also get the opportunity to fight for trophies regularly.
