Morgan Rogers transfer news: Chelsea have British record £117m bid accepted for Aston Villa forward and Arsenal’s No 1 target | Football News

Chelsea have had a £117m bid accepted by Aston Villa for Morgan Rogers.

A move to Chelsea would come after Arsenal made Rogers their top forward target this summer – and an approach to Villa was expected after the World Cup had finished.

The 23-year-old scored 14 goals and added 11 assists in 55 appearances for Villa last season.

Since joining from Middlesbrough in a deal worth £16m in 2024, Rogers has quickly risen from young prospect to a fully fledged England international, with 21 caps to his name already.

He made five of those appearances during the 2026 World Cup and provided the assist to Anthony Gordon during England’s semi-final defeat to Argentina.
