Tottenham could be willing to break their transfer record to sign Morgan Rogers this summer.
Daniel Levy has always been meticulous when it comes to Spurs’ finances, particularly where transfers are concerned.
However, he has been a little more adventurous this summer, having paid a hefty sum for Mohammed Kudus. The club have also been linked with a huge deal for Real Madrid’s Rodrygo.
And an update has now emerged concerning Aston Villa star, Rogers.
Tottenham are interested in Rogers as £100million price tag set
Not long after Son Heung-min was applauded off the pitch during the 1-1 draw against Newcastle (3 August), James Maddison was carried off on a stretcher with a knee injury.

The pre-season confrontation in Seoul, South Korea, marked the second time fans were able to see the midfield maestro since returning to the fold. However, his most recent blow seems to have been sustained to the same knee that sidelined him before.
As a result, Tottenham will be looking for a replacement for the Englishman and could break the bank for Rogers.
According to GiveMeSport on Tuesday (5 August), Tottenham are interested in signing Rogers this summer. However, Aston Villa are not open to a sale and are likely to quote suitors in the region of £100million to deter them.
This would make Rogers Spurs’ most expensive transfer if they were to concede to Villa’s demands. However, given Levy’s previous record in the summer window, his arrival remains unlikely.
Tottenham could return for Eberechi Eze
The Lilywhites were linked with Eberechi Eze earlier in the window but backed off amid interest from Arsenal.
With Kudus, Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski able to play behind the striker, another attacking midfield signing seemed unnecessary. However, Maddison’s recent injury could see the club dip into the market for a 10-profile.
Eze would be the obvious choice. He is Premier League proven and has performed for Palace at the highest level. Given Levy’s UEFA Champions League and Premier League ambitions, he could be seduced by the midfielder’s potential.
As a result, it would not be surprising to see both Eze and Tottenham making headlines together in the coming days.
