Chelsea, Aston Villa and Morgan Rogers
Saturday
Chelsea have agreed a club-record £117m deal to sign England midfielder Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa. The transfer would make Rogers the most expensive British player ever, narrowly above Manchester City’s recent £116m agreement for Elliot Anderson.
Rogers is expected to sign a six-year contract with an option for another season and undergo a medical on Monday. Aston Villa will bank a huge profit, while Middlesbrough are set to receive a major sell-on fee.
