Ben Jacobs name Chelsea’s “dream target,” shares how likely a move could be

Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers is a “dream” target for Chelsea this summer according to journalist Ben Jacobs.

The Blues have already been busy in the window, and have made three attacking signings in Liam Delap, Jamie Gittens and Joao Pedro.

More new faces are expected to follow, and Chelsea haven’t ruled out another attacker arriving, whilst they are also said to be in the market for a left sided defender.

Morgan Rogers a “dream” target

It’s been reported Chelsea want as many as eight or nine attacking options to rotate between next season, meaning there is room for another attacker.

Noni Madueke has left for Arsenal, whilst Christopher Nkunku and Joao Felix are expected to depart, with their also questions surrounding Nicolas Jackson’s future.

Chelsea have been linked with the likes of Mohammed Kudus and Hugo Ekitike, but the Ghana international joined Tottenham, whilst the Frenchman is closing in on a move to Liverpool.

Villa star Rogers is another name of interest, although a move for the England international is viewed as difficult given price and his importance to the Midlands club.

It’s been reported if Villa move for Jackson then Chelsea would respond with an offer for Rogers, and Jacobs has now provided an update.

“Morgan Rogers is a dream target for Chelsea but I am not aware of a way of Chelsea signing him at the moment, even perhaps with Nicolas Jackson being a target for Aston Villa,” he told Chelsea content creator Alex Goldberg as cited on X.com.

Christopher Nkunku could end up staying

Chelsea have a number of attackers they could move on in order to create space for Rogers in the squad, although it’s possible one could end up staying.

Felix is almost certain to leave, whilst the expectation is Nkunku also follows him out of the Stamford Bridge exit door.

However, given how he performed at the Club World Cup it’s been reported the Frenchman could potentially end up staying, and the Blues aren’t in a rush to force him out, although if he had to leave to make room for Rogers, it’s likely to be a decision not many would disagree with.
