Morgan Rogers is one of the most in-demand players in the Premier League, with Arsenal and Manchester United reportedly interested in signing the Aston Villa midfielder this summer
Morgan Rogers is rapidly emerging as one of the Premier League’s most sought-after talents, even before the transfer window has officially opened. The England midfielder is tipped to feature prominently in the Three Lions’ World Cup squad following his impressive displays at Aston Villa, catching the attention of Premier League champions Arsenal and Manchester United.
The bookmakers have Arsenal as clear frontrunners to secure his signature at 4/6 with bet365, while Sky Bet and Paddy Power are offering 1/2 odds. Additional betting offers can be found at the Mirror Betting Hub’s Free Bets section.
Arsenal’s pursuit of Morgan Rogers may have hit an early snag after the midfielder previously declared “there is no team bigger” than Manchester United – who are also monitoring his situation. The Aston Villa forward is anticipated to be amongst the summer’s most coveted names.
The 23 year old has been a standout performer for Villa across the last two campaigns, contributing 14 goals and 12 assists in all competitions this season.

Such performances have inevitably attracted interest from clubs including Arsenal and United, with Villa reportedly demanding a fee exceeding £90million. football.london understands Rogers features amongst the Gunners’ priority targets, while the Manchester Evening News reported in early May that Old Trafford officials were considering a potential approach, reports the Mirror.
Overseas reports have suggested that United have made contact with Villa to explore the possibility of a deal, while Arsenal are believed to have approached the player’s representatives. Both clubs are seeking attacking reinforcements, with United expected to target midfield and left-sided options — positions Rogers can cover — while Mikel Arteta is eager to bring in a top-class left winger.
However, comments made by Rogers back in December hint that he may favour United if pushed to make a choice. Speaking after Villa’s 2-1 victory over United — a match in which he netted both goals — he said: “It’s massive. Every game is important, there’s no bigger team than United.
“They came here to play, they’re a tough team to play against and we’ve not had a great record against them recently so we knew we had to put it right and we’re happy with the three points.”
Rogers has been the subject of transfer speculation this summer, though he is not thought to be agitating for a departure following Villa’s Champions League qualification.
When quizzed on whether the rumours had taken a toll, he told The Rest Is Football: “I think the first time it ever happened it was [impactful]. 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. You know it’s there but you’ve got to use it in a positive way. You just try and get on with your game and just focus.”
