Some interesting developments regarding Morgan Rogers who is said to be very interested in joining Chelsea, while Chelsea's long-standing admiration for the Aston Villa star remains as high.
Chelsea have been looking for players who can instantly improve the first XI while also fitting Xabi Alonso's long-term vision. Rogers ticks every single box.
What makes this situation even more interesting is that both sides reportedly want the move. Chelsea want Rogers, and Rogers wants Chelsea. That's usually where the best deals start.
From a football perspective, it's easy to see why the club are pushing.
Rogers is one of the most complete attacking players in the Premier League right now. He can operate from the left wing, play as a No.10, drift centrally alongside Cole Palmer, or even play further forward depending on the system Alonso decides to use.
His biggest strength is probably his ability to carry the ball through pressure. He's powerful, direct, quick and incredibly difficult to stop once he starts driving forward. He combines the physicality of a midfielder with the creativity and goal threat of an attacker.
He's also proven he can thrive in a demanding tactical setup under Unai Emery, which should make the transition to Xabi Alonso's system much smoother.
He is also great friends with Cole Palmer and an English home grown.
This is about signing a Premier League-proven performer who wants to wear the badge, understands the league and still has room to develop into one of the best attacking players in England.
If Chelsea can agree the right fee, this could end up being one of the smartest deals of the entire summer.

Good player, and I would be happy to sign him. Not sure why he would join Chelsea without European football, etc.

Arsenal bound. Far from the mentality monster Alonso is apparently after, according to Matt Law, he's very immature.
