Chelsea lands England star Rogers in record-breaking deal
Chelsea Football Club has clinched the signing of rising English star Morgan Rogers, securing the young attacker’s services ahead of the new season. The Blues announced the move via their official channels, confirming Rogers’ arrival from Aston Villa on a long-term contract running until 2033.
From Aston Villa to Stamford Bridge
At 23 years old, Rogers arrives at Chelsea with an impressive track record from his time at Aston Villa. His contributions on the pitch—40 goals and assists across 85 Premier League appearances—helped propel the Villans to a fourth-place finish in the league and culminated in their triumph in the Europa League last season.
Rising star of English football
Rogers has rapidly established himself as one of England’s most exciting offensive talents. Since making his senior debut with the Three Lions in November 2024, he has become a regular fixture in the squad, earning 22 caps and representing his country at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where England claimed a historic third-place finish.
Record-breaking transfer cements Chelsea’s ambitions
The transfer, reportedly valued at €117 million, marks the second-highest fee ever spent in Premier League history. Only Alexander Isak’s move from Newcastle to Liverpool last summer, for €125 million, surpassed it. Chelsea moved swiftly to secure Rogers after rival interest from Arsenal threatened to derail the deal during the opening days of the summer transfer window.
The club marked the announcement with a statement on X, accompanied by a video of Rogers, declaring, “He chose Chelsea.” The move underscores the Blues’ determination to strengthen their squad under manager Xabi Alonso, with Rogers set to join the first team as preparations for the new campaign intensify.
