Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers has been linked with a move to Arsenal as the Gunners continue to search for reinforcements during the summer transfer window. Arsenal are preparing for Champions League football and are expected to strengthen their squad with several new additions.
Villa’s failure to qualify for Europe’s top club competition is likely to affect their transfer plans, with some key players potentially being sold to balance their finances. One of those players is Rogers, whose performances since joining Villa have attracted growing interest.
According to The Times, Arsenal had already shown interest in Rogers before the end of last season and have continued to track him. Villa are now reportedly open to his departure, a stance that may not have been taken had they secured a place in the Champions League.
Arsenal Consider Move for Rogers
The attacker has been in fine form since arriving at Villa Park and is seen as the type of player who could offer something different to Arsenal’s current attacking options. His versatility and attacking output have made him a valuable asset, and a move to the Emirates could represent the next step in his career.
Villa, however, are expected to demand a significant fee. They remain keen to ensure that any potential sale reflects his value to the squad. Arsenal may be serious in their pursuit, but any approach would have to take into account Villa’s financial expectations.
Financial Factors Will Influence the Deal
While Rogers may thrive under Arsenal’s system and in European competition, cost remains a critical factor. There is a clear interest in his profile, but the club will need to be measured in their spending. The pursuit of new signings must align with broader financial planning, especially given the scale of the transfer window ahead.
If Rogers is to move to North London, it will depend not only on his suitability for the squad but also on whether a realistic agreement can be reached.

Top player!!!!!
No way we are getting Rogers. I think he is a top top player, but we just don’t have the dry powder for him, unless Zubimendi is not happening. Or, if we get him, and Zubumendi, that means we can forget about our forward and left wing.
Would be a superb investment that would pay off for years. I like Rodrygo but I’d sooner see us splash £80m on Rogers instead; PL proven, only going to improve, highly versatile and I think he has the mentality Arteta would love to work with.
Our anathema to recruiting from The Championship has cost us dear as Rogers and Goykares have proved.
We could have bought him for like £10 mill last summer
I would like to know why it takes forever for my dear beloved club to complete a signing. Why is there no proactive move to get players in already? As City/Pool have done already? We have been linked with several players but none through the door.
