Arsenal set for crunch talks with Aston Villa for Morgan Rogers
Arsenal is preparing to initiate formal negotiations and launch an opening bid for Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers, who has already agreed to personal terms ahead of a desired move to North London.
Arsenal is set to open official club-to-club negotiations with Aston Villa to secure a deal for England forward Morgan Rogers. The Gunners are preparing an initial bid for the 23-year-old now that England’s World Cup campaign has concluded.
Having designated Rogers as his primary summer target, manager Mikel Arteta is eager to integrate the versatile attacker into his squad.
Personal terms present no obstacles, as Rogers is reportedly eager to seal his move to North London. However, negotiating a final fee with Villa remains a hurdle, with the Midlands club demanding a British-record £130 million for their prized asset.
Arsenal will look to find middle ground as they seek a high-profile replacement for the departing Leandro Trossard.
