Overview
- CaughtOffside reports that Chelsea lead the pursuit of the 23-year-old England midfielder, a line subsequently carried in the BBC’s weekend gossip column.
- Paris Saint‑Germain and Liverpool are also tracking Rogers, with earlier interest from Arsenal and Tottenham cooling due to the price being cited.
- Reports describe Rogers as a 2026 squad-planning target for Enzo Maresca, with Chelsea staff said to view him as well-suited to Premier League and European competition.
- Rogers signed a new long-term deal less than a year ago and is understood to have around four-and-a-half years remaining, strengthening Villa’s negotiating position.
- After a slow start to the season, Rogers has shown an upturn with an England goal and a long‑range strike against Tottenham noted by pundits in recent broadcasts.
