Morgan Rogers is set to join Chelsea in a £117million deal after the Blues reportedly reached an agreement to sign the England star from under Arsenal’s nose
Morgan Rogers is reportedly set to join Chelsea in a £117million deal as the Blues steal in to sign the England star from under Arsenal’s nose.
The England star has been linked with a move to Arsenal throughout the summer so far but it appears the Gunners will miss out on the attacking midfielder after a deal with Aston Villa was struck.
According to The Athletic, a £117m fee has been agreed with Rogers set to sign a six-year contract with the option of a further year. A medical will take place after the weekend with the 23-year-old to be involved in England’s World Cup third-place play-off against France tonight.
It’s said that Arsenal were also in talks but a fee was unable to be agreed and Rogers chose to join Chelsea as Xabi Alonso starts his rebuild at Stamford Bridge.
