Morgan Rogers is already attracting attention from Premier League rivals such as Chelsea and Man City after his stunning season for Villa.
The England international notched 14 goals and 15 assists in 54 games across all competitions in the 2024-25 campaign.

He told Football Insider‘s Inside Track podcast: “Finishing sixth is a big issue.
“I think Champions League was a big part of the puzzle for them.
“It could mean they have to sell both Youri Tielemans and Morgan Rogers, and that’s the sort of blow which can have a big impact on the squad.
“Europa League football will mean around £30million for Villa, but that’s not enough.
“They are already sailing very close to the wind financially with PSR.”
