Aston Villa star targeted by Chelsea to enhance attacking options

  • Chelsea are targeting Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers to strengthen their attack in the summer transfer window.
  • Rogers, 22, has impressed this season with 14 goals, becoming a key player for Villa after joining in January 2024.
  • Aston Villa is reluctant to sell but may be pressured by profit and sustainability rules, especially given their high wage bill.
  • Chelsea sees an opportunity to capitalize on this situation, as they aim to improve their attacking options.
  • Villa's Champions League quarter-final run increases their need to qualify again next season, adding to the pressure to perform well in the league.
