  • Arsenal has identified Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers as their top transfer target for the summer.
  • Aston Villa reportedly wants over 116 million pounds for Rogers, a fee comparable to Manchester City's purchase of Elliot Anderson.
  • Rogers has been a key player for Aston Villa, scoring 14 goals and providing 11 assists last season, while Arsenal is also monitoring Paris SG's Bradley Barcola.

Arsenal has placed Aston Villa's English midfielder Morgan Rogers at the top of their summer transfer wishlist, according to The Athletic.

The North London club is reportedly keen on securing the services of the 21-year-old, who has impressed significantly during his time at Villa Park. However, Aston Villa is reportedly unwilling to part with Rogers unless they receive an offer exceeding 116 million pounds. This valuation is said to be in line with the fee Manchester City recently paid Nottingham Forest for Elliot Anderson.

Rogers has become a pivotal figure for Aston Villa over the past two seasons. His contract with the club runs until 2031. Last season, he showcased his attacking prowess by scoring 14 goals and providing 11 assists across all competitions, making him a highly sought-after talent.

In addition to Rogers, Arsenal is also closely monitoring Bradley Barcola, a French winger from Paris Saint-Germain. Barcola also had a productive season, contributing 13 goals and six assists in all competitions for the Parisian club.
