In Kompany, Rodgers will be acquiring another powerful and versatile attacking midfielder who can play centrally, on the left or even as a second striker.<\/p>\n<p>That flexibility is why so many clubs like him.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Morgan_Rogers_impressed_top_clubs_across_Europe\"><\/span>Morgan Rogers impressed top clubs across Europe<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>His numbers explain the hype. Rodgers finished the 2025\/26 Premier League season with 10 goals and six assists in 37 appearances, contributing to 16 goals for Aston Villa.<\/p>\n<p>He also started every league game and played 3,280 minutes, showing how important he has become under Unai Emery.<\/p>\n<p>Rodgers looks very much a Mikel Arteta-style player for Arsenal. He is powerful, direct, technically stable and able to carry the ball into crowded midfield areas.<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal are looking at attacking midfield and left-sided options, so Rodgers naturally fits that profile.<\/p>\n<p>However, Villa are said to not want to sell him, which poses a big problem for the Gunners.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Arsenal_and_Chelsea_lead_Bayern_Munich\"><\/span>Arsenal and Chelsea lead Bayern Munich<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Chelsea&#8217;s angle is also easy to understand. They have spent big on young attacking talent, but Rodgers offers something a little different: Premier League experience, physicality and end product.<\/p>\n<p>He could be a very useful addition if Chelsea restructure their squad under a new manager.<br \/>Rodgers would be a great signing for Bayern, Arsenal or Chelsea, but Aston Villa have the strongest cards.<\/p>\n<p>His contract runs until 2031, so Villa are under no pressure to accept a regular offer.<\/p>\n<p>Bayern may like him, but the Premier League club has made this race extremely difficult.<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal can offer a clear sporting project, Chelsea can offer a major rebuild and Villa can offer guaranteed importance.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Bayern Munich are ready to avoid Arsenal&#8217;s gamble, admits Christian Falk<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Morgan Rodgers is shaping up to be one of the most talked about players this summer, and Bayern Munich are firmly in the conversation.Vincent Kompany is a big fan of the Aston Villa star and wants to bring him to Munich, according to Christian Falk.
