Overview
- Multiple reports say Chelsea have strong interest in Aston Villa attacker Morgan Rogers and are tracking Arsenal prospect Ethan Nwaneri as a longer-term option.
- The €150m price being discussed originates from Spanish outlet Fichajes and is repeated by other publications as unverified, with no formal bid lodged to date.
- Villa are reported to be resistant to a mid-season sale, though PSR constraints could force decisions in the summer depending on revenues and European qualification.
- Rogers’ form this season — reported as seven goals and five assists — has boosted his market value, and he is under contract at Villa Park until 2031 with estimates around £61m cited.
- Any deal near €150m would be a Chelsea record and could raise PSR considerations for the Blues, whose recruitment plans are also linked to the timing of their next head-coach appointment.
