Arsenal target England midfielder with 13 Premier League goal contributions

Arsenal have joined Manchester United and Chelsea in the race to sign highly rated Aston Villa midfielder Morgan Rogers ahead of the summer transfer window.

Rogers has emerged as one of the standout performers in the Premier League this season, playing a pivotal role in Villa’s push for Champions League football.

The England international has registered an impressive 13 goal contributions, eight goals and five assists, in 31 league appearances.

His performances have attracted significant attention, with Arsenal set to face strong competition amid growing interest from clubs across Europe.

According to The Telegraph, United and Chelsea are closely monitoring the midfielder, while interest extends beyond England, with Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich also tracking his situation.

Despite recently committing his future to Aston Villa with a contract renewal just about five months ago, Rogers is expected to be at the centre of one of the summer’s most competitive transfer battles.

Meanwhile, Villa are under no immediate pressure to sell, but the scale of interest in the England International could trigger a bidding war among Europe’s elite clubs.

His transfer is shaping up to be one of the Premier League’s most sought-after players this summer, with a potential transfer race nearing £100 million including add-ons.

Aston Villa are expected to demand upwards of £80 million, though the fee could rise to around £90 million or more should a bidding war emerge among interested clubs.

While Rogers is understood to have a strong relationship with both the club and manager Unai Emery and is not actively pushing for a move, Villa may consider offers that reflect his status as one of their most valuable and marketable assets.

For Arsenal, the pursuit aligns with their plans to reinforce midfield options ahead of the 2026/2027 season, as they look to sustain their domestic dominance and compete more strongly in Europe.

However, with multiple heavyweights circling, the North London club face a significant challenge to secure the midfielder’s signature.
