Arsenal fans convinced Morgan Rogers has passed transfer audition after Eberechi Eze link-up | OneFootball

England midfielder has already responded to Arsenal transfer links

The Gunners are monitoring Rogers’ situation at Aston Villa, though are aware that a fee in the region £100million will be required to prize the attacking midfielder away from the Europa League winners.

Any possible deal for Rogers will likely have to wait until after the World Cup to be completed, but England head coach Thomas Tuchel has confirmed any member of his 26-man squad will have a window to sort any transfer business.

In the Three Lions’ final pre-World Cup warm-up fixture against Costa Rica on Wednesday night (UK time), both Rogers and Eze were introduced just after the hour mark as second half substitutes.

With Rogers operating centrally and Eze playing as a left-sided number eight, it meant the pair were close together for their 20+ minutes on the pitch and many Arsenal supporters were left encouraged by what they saw.

Of course, it remains to be seen if Rogers and Eze do become team-mates at club level this summer, but Gunners fans believe the former has passed his audition with flying colours.

Rogers, meanwhile, has insisted the "noise" about a potential move to Arsenal will not impact him at the World Cup.

He told the Rest is Football podcast: "I think the first time it ever happened it was.

"You’re in an uncomfortable spot of not realising that people have so much interest in you and you’re not quite realising that.

"But as you get older and gain experience along the way, you know that comes with it and 95 per cent of it is just noise.

‘You hear it, course you do. You can’t help not [hearing it]. You know it’s there but you’ve got to use it in a positive way.
