Aston Villa forward Morgan Rogers has reportedly informed the club’s hierarchy of his desire to complete a summer move to Arsenal, a development that has accelerated negotiations between the two Premier League clubs.
According to reports from AFC Xtra, the England international has made his intentions clear to Villa’s management, paving the way for discussions over a potential transfer.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is understood to be keen on strengthening his attacking options ahead of the new campaign, with Rogers emerging as one of the club’s priority targets following his impressive performances for Villa.
The 24-year-old enjoyed a breakthrough campaign last season, establishing himself as one of the Premier League’s most exciting attacking talents with his pace, creativity and eye for goal.
While no agreement has yet been reached between the clubs, Rogers’ willingness to join the Gunners is expected to play a significant role in helping both sides find common ground over a transfer fee.
Arsenal remain active in the summer transfer market as they look to build a squad capable of mounting another serious challenge for the Premier League title and competing strongly in Europe.
Neither Aston Villa nor Arsenal has officially commented on the reported negotiations.
