Arsenal Prioritizes Morgan Rogers as Left Winger After Trossard Departure
Sky Sports reports that Arsenal have made Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers their top transfer target for the left winger position following Leandro Trossard's move to Besiktas and Gabriel Martinelli's uncertain future. The 23-year-old England international, who joined Villa in 2024 for £16 million, has attracted interest from Chelsea, Manchester United, PSG, and Bayern Munich. Arsenal plan to deploy Rogers on the left, where he started 15 times last season, scoring 5 goals and providing 3 assists. Villa are in a strong negotiating position as Rogers signed a contract until 2031 and the club does not want to sell. Arsenal have alternatives including Club Brugge's Tsolis (£34 million agreement), Alvarez, and PSG's Bradley Barcola, but Rogers remains the priority due to his Premier League experience and potential. No formal negotiations have begun, and any deal is expected to exceed £100 million.
