Overview

• Tottenham have held preliminary talks to sign Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers for a late-window addition, according to multiple reports.
• Reports say Spurs are accelerating efforts, with Villa preferring to keep the 23-year-old but understood to be bracing for the possibility of a sale.
• Rogers is contracted to 2030 with a reported £100m valuation, and separate reporting suggests Spurs think Villa’s PSR position could soften the price.
• If a deal for Rogers cannot be agreed, Spurs are reported to be weighing moves for Rodrygo or Nico Paz, though Sky reports Real Madrid’s buy-back rights and a 50% sell-on clause complicate any move for Paz.
• The Athletic reports Rodrygo has instructed agents Pini Zahavi and Kia Joorabchian to explore options, while David Ornstein reports Savinho is currently expected to remain at Manchester City unless an unlikely Rodrygo chain develops.
