Tag: Morgan Rogers
Morgan Rogers is an English attacking midfielder who joined Chelsea from Aston Villa in July 2026 in a club-record deal, the most expensive transfer of a British player at the time. He made his name at Villa Park under Unai Emery, turning a rapid rise through the English leagues into a regular place in one of the Premier League's most ambitious sides and a call-up to the England squad.
Rogers carries the ball with long, powerful strides, holds off defenders in tight spaces and arrives in the box to finish moves, which lets him play behind the striker, from a wide position or in a more advanced midfield role. Xabi Alonso has said he plans to use him alongside Cole Palmer, and how the two creators share space in the final third is one of the big tactical stories of Chelsea's 2026-27 season.
