Chelsea, Aston Villa and Morgan Rogers
Tuesday
Chelsea have officially completed the £117m signing of Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa. The England international becomes the most expensive British player in football history and signs as a major attacking piece for Xabi Alonso.
Chelsea moved quickly after England’s World Cup exit, beating Arsenal to the deal. Rogers’ arrival increases pressure on Chelsea to trim their squad, especially after further attacking signings and ongoing financial-rule scrutiny.
