Chelsea serious about signing Aston Villa star

Chelsea are showing serious interest in signing Aston Villa midfielder Morgan Rogers, according to Fichajes.

The 23-year-old has been a key player for the West Midlands outfit, but he could pursue a fresh challenge away from the club next summer.

Villa are planning to negotiate an improved salary with the attacker, but there is a possibility that he could depart at the end of the campaign.

Chelsea hold a serious interest in landing the playmaker, and could make a significant transfer offer for his services when the season ends.

Villa have had financial concerns after failing to qualify for the Champions League. Their failure to do so next term could pave the way for a big-money sale.

Rogers is the most valuable asset in the squad. Aside from the Blues, Tottenham Hotspur are also weighing up a possible approach for his services.

The 23-year-old had a slow start to the current campaign, but has picked up form in recent weeks. He has three goal contributions thus far.
