£80m price tag set as Arsenal, Man United and Chelsea chase elite young talent | OneFootball

Morgan Rogers has been linked with a move away from Aston Villa at the end of the season.

The 23-year-old playmaker is one of the finest young talents in the Premier League right now, and multiple clubs are interested in him. According to a report from The Times, Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea are keen on the player, and they would have to pay over £80 million in order to get the deal done. Aston Villa do not want to lose the player, but they will sanction his departure if a suitable fee is presented.

It remains to be seen whether any of the three clubs is willing to pay over £80 million for him. The England international is a prodigious talent with a bright future. He has all the tools to develop into a future superstar, and he could justify the investment. Given the inflation in the transfer market, the asking price for Rogers is hardly a surprise.

Manchester United have been overly dependent on Bruno Fernandes over the years. They need more depth in that area of the pitch, and Rogers would be a solid long-term acquisition. He will add goals and creativity to the team. Rogers has 27 goals and 24 assists in 114 matches for Aston Villa.

On the other hand, Arsenal signed Eberechi Eze, but he has not been able to live up to the expectations. Martin Odegaard has not been at his best this season either. Signing another attacking midfielder could prove wise. They are pushing for the league title and the UEFA Champions League. They need elite talents in order to continue competing at the highest level.

As far as Chelsea is concerned, they need more creativity in the final third. Players like Alejandro Garnacho and Jamie Gittens have been underwhelming. They have had to rely on Cole Palmer too often, and he needs more support. Rogers could be the ideal addition for them.
