🚨 Reports: priciest deal of the summer! England star joins for €137m | OneFootball

The World Cup is over, but the transfer market is only really picking up speed now. According to information from Fabrizio Romano and 'The Athletic', Chelsea Football Club have pulled off the most expensive transfer of the summer. Morgan Rogers is reportedly moving from Aston Villa to the Blues for €137 million. 

The England international had actually already reached an agreement with Arsenal weeks ago, but Chelsea have now beaten the Gunners to it and snatched their desired player right from under their noses. 

Rogers completed his medical today and is set to be officially unveiled tomorrow. The attacking player also featured regularly for the Three Lions at the World Cup and is expected to sign a contract until 2033 with the option of a further year.

After Elliot Anderson (to Manchester City for €135 million), this is already the second blockbuster transfer involving an England international in the middle of the tournament in North America. The record stood for only a few weeks before now being broken again.
