Tottenham Hotspur are hoping to sign Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa before the summer transfer window closes.
The 23-year-old is a tremendous prospect, and he has done quite well in the Premier League with Aston Villa. His performances have attracted the attention of the London club, and they are now looking to sign him after the injury blow to James Maddison.
Tottenham need more creativity in the final third, and the 23-year-old could be the ideal acquisition. He can slot in as the attacking midfielder as well as a wide player. He will add goals and creativity to the side.
Tottenham have already spoken to Aston Villa regarding a potential move, and they feel that a deal could be done.
Tottenham working on Morgan Rogers transfer
Mick Brown told Football Insider: “I’m told Tottenham have spoken to Villa about whether he might be available.
“Unai Emery wants to keep him, he’s one of his better players so that’s a given really.
“Spurs feel they can get a deal done, but if they do it certainly won’t be cheap.
“We know Tottenham need to replace Maddison, and they definitely see Rogers as somebody who can fill that attacking midfield role.
“Whether Villa will be open to a deal isn’t clear, I expect probably not, but Tottenham look like they’re going to try so we’ll see.”
Spurs move could be ideal for Rogers
The 23-year-old registered 14 goals and 16 assists last season. Joining a big club could be ideal for him. Competing in the UEFA Champions League with Tottenham will help him improve further, and it could accelerate his development.
There is no doubt that he’s a tremendous talent for the bright future, and he could develop into a future star with the right guidance. Playing alongside quality players at Tottenham could bring out the best in him. Thomas Frank could nurture him into an important player for the club as well.
