Chelsea end pursuit of Morgan Rogers amid high asking price

Summary

Chelsea have opted to abandon their interest in Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers as they seek to bolster their left wing this summer. The club is unwilling to meet Villa's £130 million asking price and faces competition from several top teams including Arsenal and Manchester City. Chelsea is reportedly considering West Ham's Crysencio Summerville as an alternative, although they will also have to contend with interest from Arsenal and Liverpool. Summerville impressed during the 2026 FIFA World Cup and could provide the quality Chelsea desires on the left flank.
