Chelsea has reached a verbal agreement with Aston Villa to sign Morgan Rogers, who was a target for Arsenal. The deal, confirmed by David Ornstein, includes a £117 million bid accepted by Villa, along with personal terms for a six-year contract plus an option for an additional year. Rogers has opted for Chelsea due to the appeal of their new manager, Xabi Alonso, and the team's project.
