Arsenal ready to break transfer record for 23yo star

Arsenal are prepared to break their transfer record to sign Aston Villa attacker Morgan Rogers during the ongoing window, according to Sky Sports News.

The England international had a fantastic 2025/26 season with the Villans, making 26 goal contributions across all competitions.

He primarily played as an attacking midfielder for the Midlands outfit, but had several goal involvements, cutting inside from the left wing.

Arsenal exactly view him as a left-sided winger and reports claim that they are prepared to enter concrete negotiations with the Villans soon.

The Gunners are speaking with Villa's senior hierarchy and are well aware they may have to break the bank to prise the 23-year-old away.

Declan Rice is Arsenal's record signing at £105 million, and the Gunners may have to breach that figure to bring Rogers to the Emirates.

Rogers has already given the go-ahead for the transfer. Personal terms should be a formality if Arsenal strike an agreement with Villa.

The Gunners are also exploring a deal for Villa defender Ezri Konsa.
