​In a recent newsletter, journalist Ben Jacobs claimed that Arsenal are expected to launch a move for Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers. Jacobs said,“Bradley Barcola, Eli Junior Kroupi and others are on the Arsenal list too, but Arsenal are expected to bid for Morgan Rogers, and let’s see whether Villa stick to a reported asking price, which may not be that far off Elliot Anderson’s fee to Manchester City from Nottingham Forest, or if the clubs are able to get that deal under £100million.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement“Last year, when Rogers extended, the feeling from interested parties was £80million, maybe with some add-ons, might be good enough, but we’re in a crazy inflated market.“Villa have brought in some money already, and there’s more than one club interested, so let’s see how negotiations develop, but Arsenal are expected to start formal talks with Aston Villa for Morgan Rogers, and they still retain an interest in Bruno Guimaraes, with Newcastle awaiting formal contact there.”Rogers enjoyed a good run of form at the West Midlands club in the previous campaign after he put in a handful of productive displays for them in the Premier League. The England international featured in 55 matches for the Villans last season, scoring 14 times and picking up 12 assists in the process across multiple competitions.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThe 23-year-old is currently among the best playmakers in the Premier League. Thus, Arsenal would do well to lure him to the Emirates Stadium this off-season.ATLANTA, GEORGIA – JULY 15: Morgan Rogers #17 of England walks out the tunnel for the pitch inspection before the FIFA World Cup 2026 Semi Final match between England and Argentina at Atlanta Stadium on July 15, 2026 in Atlanta, Georgia.

Hence, the Gunners would have to make a convincing offer if they are serious about recruiting Rogers in this transfer window.Rogers is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet and can create some inviting chances for his teammates to score. He can shoot the ball with power from long range and can contribute by scoring and creating his fair share of goals up top.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThe English attacker is primarily an attacking midfielder but can also operate as a winger on either flank if needed. He has already proven himself in the Premier League and won’t take much time to adjust to life at the North London club.Rogers would enhance the quality of Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta’s attack. He is good enough to challenge for a regular starting spot at the Emirates Stadium next season.At 23, Rogers has got his best years ahead of him, which makes him a decent choice for the Gunners to consider in this transfer period. Thus, Arteta should focus on stepping up his efforts to sign him this summer.
