Arsenal pursues Morgan Rogers in potential £100m transfer from Aston Villa
Summary

Arsenal plans to intensify interest in Morgan Rogers, an Aston Villa forward, with a potential deal exceeding £100 million. Currently, no official talks have taken place, as Villa remains resolute on keeping Rogers, who signed a contract extension in November 2024. The market's recent movements, including substantial transfers of midfielders, influence Rogers' valuation. Arsenal sees Rogers as a versatile player who could enhance their left flank following changes in their attacking lineup this summer. Interest in Rogers may heighten after England's World Cup exit. Arsenal is also monitoring Julian Alvarez and Bradley Barcola.
