Morgan Rogers now odds-on to complete Arsenal transfer after latest twist

Morgan Rogers has been heavily linked away from Aston Villa this summer transfer window after a brilliant campaign.

The winger played a crucial part in the club’s Europa League title victory as well as their Champions League qualification this season.

As a result, multiple clubs have been linked with the England international, including Premier League champions Arsenal.

Now, one bookmaker believes Rogers is more likely to play for the Gunners than Villa for the 2026-27 campaign, placing a move to the Emirates Stadium at 8/11 odds.

Rogers is set to play in the World Cup this summer for England, and an Aston Villa sale could take place once the tournament ends.

Arsenal look to win race for Morgan Rogers’ signature

After Arsenal’s Premier League title this season, Mikel Arteta is keen to improve his squad to ensure the trophy can be retained in the next campaign.

Rogers would no doubt be a marquee signing for the Gunners after his recent performances.

Throughout the 2025-26 campaign, the 23-year-old netted 14 goals and picked up 12 assists in all competitions. This includes a goal and an assist in the Europa League final as Villa beat Freiburg 3-0, showcasing why Arsenal are keen to complete the transfer.

However, a move to Arsenal is not guaranteed this summer.

Former Man United chief scout Mick Brown exclusively told Football Insider that Manchester City were also looking to sign Rogers after keeping close tabs on him.

Therefore, Arsenal will be aiming to win the race for the winger as they look to maintain a stronger squad than their title rivals.

How much are Aston Villa set to demand for Rogers?

Football Insider exclusively revealed that Villa want £100million for Rogers this summer.

Villa are fearful of losing the winger despite him signing a new contract in late 2025.

A star performance in the upcoming World Cup could enhance his price tag further, especially if England goes on to win the competition.

However, the hefty potential fee has seemingly done little to dissuade potential suitors this summer.

Villa have already been linked to numerous other wingers, which could indicate that they are searching for Rogers’ replacement.

Nevertheless, it remains to be seen if the club are willing to part with the England international this summer transfer window.
