Chelsea Football Club has confirmed the signing of English midfielder Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa, marking a significant move for the Premier League side ahead of the new season.
The 23-year-old international has committed to Stamford Bridge until 2033, joining Xabi Alonso‘s squad as one of the club’s most anticipated arrivals. The transfer solidifies Chelsea’s ambitions for domestic and European competition, with the player poised to make an immediate impact.
Rogers arrives at Chelsea after establishing himself as one of the brightest young attacking talents in England. His contributions at Aston Villa were pivotal, with 40 goals and assists combined across 85 Premier League appearances. His performances helped guide the Villans to a fourth-place finish and secured the Europa League title last season.
Since his England debut in November 2024, Rogers has become a regular starter for the Three Lions, accumulating 22 caps. He played a key role in England’s World Cup 2026 campaign, where the team finished in third place.
The transfer fee, reported at €117 million, makes Rogers the second-most expensive signing in Premier League history—only behind Alexander Isak’s move from Newcastle to Liverpool. Chelsea edged out Arsenal, who had been actively pursuing the player before the Blues secured his signature.
>To unveil the deal, Chelsea shared a video on X featuring Rogers, accompanied by the caption: “He chose Chelsea.” The message underscored the club’s successful pursuit amid fierce competition.
