Morgan Rogers posts Aston Villa update amid ‘Chelsea transfer’ claim
Morgan Rogers had an update for the Aston Villa supporters despite the speculation surrounding his future at the club.
Aston Villa are preparing for a crucial clash against Fulham on 3 May as they continue their push for a Champions League spot.
Rogers has been one of the standout performers for Aston Villa and Unai Emery this season, playing a pivotal role in their pursuit of European football and firmly establishing himself in the first team.
His form has drawn attention beyond Villa Park, with Chelsea supporters calling on their club to sign Rogers amid reports linking the Blues with a summer move.
However, despite the growing speculation, the 22-year-old shared an update where he made it clear that his focus remains firmly on his football and helping Villa finish the season strongly.
Chelsea face competition from Man City in pursuit of Morgan Rogers
The Englishman shared a series of training photos on his Instagram story, including a repost from the official Aston Villa account with the caption: “Sunny sessions at Bodymoor” keeping fans updated amid mounting speculation around his future.
Rogers has been vital to Villa’s campaign, but especially now with Marcus Rashford now ruled out for the rest of the season due to injury. His contributions have been key to Villa’s push for a top-four finish and European qualification.
However, Chelsea are not alone in their pursuit of the 22-year-old. Football Insider revealed Manchester City are now considering a move to re-sign Rogers, having previously let him leave for Middlesbrough in search of regular first-team football.
His rise at Villa Park has reignited interest from his former club, but Aston Villa remain confident of keeping hold Rogers. With 14 goals and 13 assists in all competitions and a contract running until 2030, they are in a strong position to resist any bids.

Aston Villa line up move for Kevin De Bruyne amid Marco Asensio uncertainty
As speculation continues around Rogers’ future, Villa appear to be active in the market themselves.
Football Insider revealed that Aston Villa are exploring a sensational move for Kevin De Bruyne as an alternative to signing Marco Asensio on a permanent deal.
Despite Asensio’s positive impact since joining on loan, Villa view a potential free transfer for De Bruyne as a more cost-effective and strategic signing when factoring in wages and transfer fees as the hierarchy prepare to build their squad for next season.
