Arsenal pursues Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers ahead of summer transfer

Arsenal is intensifying efforts to sign Aston Villa forward Morgan Rogers as the summer transfer window approaches. Manager Mikel Arteta sees Rogers as a key addition for explosive play on the left wing, particularly following his impressive performances with England. Currently focusing on international duty, Rogers is reportedly open to a move to the Emirates Stadium if the clubs can agree on a fee. Aston Villa's management faces pressure to demand a substantial transfer fee, given Rogers' contract running through 2031 and a 20% sell-on clause owed to Middlesbrough. No official bids have been made yet, but negotiations are expected to escalate soon.
