Chelsea will make the “great” £78m star their best target

Everything was quiet on Chelsea’s pitch, but you can bet the bottom dollar that will keep you busy in the transfer market.

It’s been almost a week since the Blues was crowned world champion. Cole Palmer scored twice at MetLife Stadium after destroying Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 in the Club World Cup final last Sunday.

Enzo Maresca’s side will never be seen again until one week before the start of the Premier League season, welcomed Bayer Leberkusen and AC Milan to Stamford Bridge, respectively, on August 8th and 10th, for their preseason best friends.

Search for more aggressive talent for Chelsea

As we’ve come to expect from the Todd Boehly era, Chelsea has already signed many more this summer, as shown in the table below.

Following the arrival of Estêvão Willian, Jamie Gittens and Kendry Páez, we will add to existing team members Pedro Neto, Palmer, Christopher Nkunku, Raheem Sterling, Tyrique George and João Félix.

Nevertheless, it has not stopped Chelsea from continuing to hire in the past. And if they reinvest the money into the team after Noni Madueke was sold to Arsenal this week for £52 million, then no one would shock them.

So, according to a Spanish report, Chelsea is preparing to make the move for Morgan Rogers, and the Aston Villa midfielder will make the Aston Villa midfielder, the top priority.

They added that villains’ “negotiation reluctance” could prove a stumbling block, but speaking on Guardian Football’s weekly podcast, Dan Valdel said he expects Villas to sell “big players” to adhere to the rules of profitability and sustainability of the Premier League.

How Morgan Rodgers improves Chelsea

Rogers recently joined Middlesbrough Aston Villa for £15 million in January 2024, but it certainly bursts in the Midland scene.

Last season, the 22-year-old scored 14 goals and registered 13 assists in all competitions. Former England manager Glenn Hoddle labeled the maiden as “great” and “great” following the maiden’s international start with Latvia at Wembley in March.

Kurosh Moghtader of full football analysis claims he is the “great talent” who works most as an offensive midfielder.

Meanwhile, Ryan Benson of Opta’s The Analyst considers him to be one of the “outstanding players” in the Premier League last season, describing his “sinister bursts and tidy footwork” as “a joy to see” and as robust yet elegant as a fierce bull skate.

But how does he compare to the departing Madueke?

Let’s look into it.

As outlined in the table below, Rogers is at the top of most attack statistics.

The Aston Villa star has accumulated 4,753 minutes of club and country, marking his durability, with the exception of one of the club’s Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup fixtures.

Nevertheless, even around 90 people, compared to Madueke, Rogers boasted better numbers in terms of potentially created and dribbling, so even if it’s a very expensive one, he would certainly be a great addition to Chelsea.
