Done Deal: Arsenal completes first summer transfer signing as striker completes medical to join the Gunners- £99million paid and medical is already done

Arsenal have been linked with substantial interest in Aston Villa hot-shot Morgan Rogers, as they might face a huge task in concluding a deal.

According to The Times, Arsenal have added Moran Rogers to their list of high-profile attacking targets ahead of the summer. The Gunners are in the market to bolster their attacking setup, as the Aston Villa star’s versatility and expertise might be given thoughtful consideration.

Morgan Rogers has been nothing short of a bargain for Aton Villa, who chose to invest in the forward 18 months ago. Back then, the club paid £15 million including add-ons to bring him from Middlesbrough, as Rogers has excelled in his first full season at the Birmingham club.

With 14 goals and 15 assists to his name across all competitions, Rogers has been one of the premium Villa attackers this season. There are many clubs including Chelsea, who are chasing Rogers’ signature in the summer.

Villa are ready to put up a fight to keep hold of him, but their delicate financial situation could see them sell one of their top talents in the summer. Whether that is Rogers or someone else remains the question, although a large enough offer for the England international might ruffle a few feathers.

Arsenal are the latest to enter the chase, as they could look at Rogers’ versatility and think about giving serious consideration to this transfer. Mikel Arteta would approve of the profile, although for now, he has been looking for a left winger and a striker, as Rogers can play both those positions while giving the Gunners a dynamism they lack.

Can Arsenal sign Morgan Rogers?

Arsenal are in the market looking at some high-profile names, as Rogers will stand out to some degree. The likes of Bradley Barcola is the latest to enter the conversation, while others like Nico Williams, Rodrygo Goes, Antoine Semenyo and Jamie Gittens have all been linked.

The fact that Rogers can offer different positional variances such as playing as an attacking midfielder, winger or striker, Arteta would certainly love this profile, IN any case, to secure him from Aston Villa, they might need to part ways with a hefty chunk of cash, that too only if the club are willing to sell the England international.
