The 23-year-old can operate as an attacking midfielder or on the flanks. He will help create opportunities for his teammates and find the back of the net as well. Chelsea desperately need a creative force like him.

Liam Rosenior is keen on the midfielder as well, as he has started to be the driving force behind the move.

Rogers has 10 goals and seven assists to his name this season. He scored 14 goals and recorded 16 assists across all competitions last season. He has now proven that he can perform consistently at the highest level, and this could be the right time for him to take on a new challenge. The move to Chelsea would be the ideal step up in his career, and he would get to test himself at the highest level.
