Chelsea is reportedly interested in signing Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa during the summer transfer window. Rogers, who is 23 years old, had a standout season for Villa, making 55 appearances and contributing 14 goals and 12 assists across all competitions. His ability to create scoring opportunities and play in various attacking roles makes him an attractive target for Chelsea head coach Xabi Alonso. However, Rogers' contract runs until 2031, which could complicate a potential transfer for the Blues. Chelsea aims to enhance its squad's depth and quality to improve their chances of securing a European spot in the Premier League.
