Aston Villa midfielder Morgan Rogers would walk into Arsenal\u2019s team next season, in accordance with former Premier League striker Jay Bothroyd.<\/p>\n
Rogers has attracted widespread interest ahead of the summer transfer window with Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool all considering a move.<\/p>\n
The 23-year-old is known to be open to leaving Villa at the top of the season, while the club are aware that receiving a major fee for the England international would ease their financial pressure.<\/p>\n
Villa are demanding a minimum of \u00a380 million for Rogers, who has 10 goals and 7 assists in all competitions for Villa this season.<\/p>\n
And Bothroyd, who supports Arsenal and got here through the club\u2019s academy, has urged the Gunners to beat competition from their Premier League rivals to sign Rogers.<\/p>\n
When asked which club could be the most effective fit for Rogers, Bothroyd told Sky Sports: \u2018Arsenal\u2026 he walks into Arsenal\u2019s team.<\/p>\n \u2018He plays week in, week out on the left-hand side, we [Arsenal] need a player who can play on the left-hand side, he\u2019s got that in abundance.<\/p>\n \u2018He can do it [play on the left wing], we don\u2019t want one other [Gabriel] Martinelli, trust me.<\/p>\n \u2018I feel like with [Eberechi] Eze, he\u2019s probably Arsenal\u2019s No.10, I would really like to see Morgan Rogers playing there and tucking inside, I feel he\u2019s an ideal player.<\/p>\n \u2018Once you mention Bayern Munich, I don\u2019t think Bayern Munich is the one. You\u2019ve got Luis Diaz there, he\u2019s playing unbelievably well, you then\u2019ve got [Jamal] Musiala who’s coming back, Lennart Karl, who’s a improbable young player, then obviously [Michael] Olise. I don\u2019t think Rogers would fit into that if he desires to play week in, week out. PSG are an analogous thing, they\u2019ve got some great attacking players.<\/p>\n \u2018I feel the one which stands out is Arsenal. Even Manchester United, perhaps, but I feel they\u2019ve got [Matheus] Cunha, [Bryan] Mbeumo, [Bruno] Fernandes will probably play as a No.10 next season higher up after they sign their midfielders.<\/p>\n \u2018I feel like Arsenal is the one where he can say, \u2018I\u2019m going there and I\u2019m going to play week in, week out\u2019.\u2019<\/p>\n For more stories like this,\u00a0check our sport page<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Follow Metro Sport for the most recent news on ![\"Aston](\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/GettyImages-2267933677.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&w=594\")
