Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers is attracting interest from fellow Premier League clubs in a summer that could prove significant for the forward ahead of the World Cup
Morgan Rogers is on the radar of several Premier League clubs
Premier League clubs are monitoring Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers ahead of the summer window. Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool are long‑standing admirers of the 23‑year‑old, who is expected to attract significant interest at the end of the season.
Rogers, who came through West Bromwich Albion’s academy, joined Villa in 2024 and has become a mainstay in Unai Emery ’s attack. He signed a six‑year deal last November, but that is not expected to deter potential suitors.
The Sun claims Rogers and Villa’s hierarchy have an understanding that it is ‘probably the right time to part ways.’ Villa have limited room to manoeuvre under financial rules and have been forced to sell before they buy in recent windows.

Currently fourth in the Premier League, Villa are fighting to secure Champions League football next season but any slip‑up could make it harder for them to keep hold of their prized asset. Even so, there remains a possibility that Rogers could depart if it allows Villa to reinvest across the squad.
However, Villa are expected to demand a hefty fee, with Rogers viewed as one of their most valuable players and a potential England starter at the World Cup. Villa boss Emery always been full of praise for Rogers and recently said: “He is growing up so quickly and performing more and more better. He has qualities and he is strong. His mentality is a huge mentality.
“He is a really fantastic guy. I need to push him sometimes and we need him. He feels the ambitions I want, but it is not pressure. Ambitions. In the dressing room is also very important. He is fantastic as a person.

“He is funny and he is responsible, focusing on his task. I am so, so happy how he is responding. The idea I have is to use him through our structure. All the players need to feel confident and working in our demands.”
Chelsea are expected to move for a new attacking midfielder this summer if Enzo Fernandez leaves, with rumours continuing to link him to Real Madrid.
Rogers is also close friends with Cole Palmer, having come through Manchester City’s youth ranks together while Liverpool could make a major push for a forward of Rogers’ profile as they prepare for life after Mohamed Salah, who is set to depart on a free at the end of June.
