Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers attracting transfer interest from Liverpool and Chelsea
Morgan Rogers has quickly become one of the most talked-about young players in the Premier League. The 23-year-old has been a standout for Aston Villa, catching the eye of just about every top club that’s been watching him this season.
He’s got that mix of power and flair that makes you sit up and pay attention. Whenever he’s on the ball, something seems to happen. You can tell he plays with confidence, and at his age, that’s rare.
People across England already rate him as one of the finest young talents around, and it’s easy to see why. He’s calm under pressure, sharp in tight spaces, and doesn’t shy away from the big moments.
Reports from Spain claim that any club wanting to sign him will have to pay around €80 million (£70 million). That’s a lot of money, but for a player with his ceiling, it might just be worth it.
A complete attacker who’s a nightmare to face
Former Manchester United star Roy Keane once called Rogers a “nightmare” for defenders, and that’s the perfect word for him. He’s strong enough to hold off challenges but still quick and skillful enough to leave players behind.
He’s not limited to just one role either. Rogers can play out wide, drift into central spaces, or lead the line if needed. He’s the type of player who brings balance to an attack just by being on the pitch.
He’s also clever in his movement, often pulling defenders out of position and creating gaps for teammates. That’s something Liverpool could use right now — someone unpredictable who can open games up when things get tight.
Last season, he scored eight goals and provided ten assists in the league, showing just how productive he can be even in a team that doesn’t dominate possession every week.
Liverpool and Chelsea both showing interest
Liverpool and Chelsea are both believed to be very keen on him. For Liverpool, it’s easy to understand why. Creativity has been an issue this season, with Florian Wirtz still adjusting and Alexis Mac Allister struggling to hit top form.
Adding Rogers would give Arne Slot something different — a forward who’s direct, brave, and full of energy. He’d also fit well in Liverpool’s attacking system, constantly pressing and linking play.
Chelsea, meanwhile, are too dependent on Cole Palmer. They badly need another creative spark who can share the load in attack, and Rogers ticks all the boxes for them too.
For Rogers himself, a move to either of these clubs would be massive. The chance to play at Anfield or Stamford Bridge every week would be a dream for any young player.
At 23, this feels like the perfect time for him to take the next step. He’s already shown he can handle Premier League defenders, and now he looks ready for the challenge of fighting for trophies.
Wherever he ends up, one thing’s clear — Morgan Rogers has everything it takes to become a top-level star, and Liverpool fans would love to see him doing it in red.
