Emile Heskey has warned Chelsea to spend £ 80 million to buy Morgan Rogers, although this Aston Villa midfielder is very talented.
The Blues made a series of major contracts this summer, including Joao Pedro, Liam Delap, Jamie Gittens and Estevao. However, after winning the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, Chelsea did not seem to stop in the transfer market.
Enzo Maresca's team is considering an ambitious move to recruit Morgan Rogers, who has previously attracted attention from Arsenal. The British player has grown strongly under the guidance of Unai Emery since moving from Middlesbrough in January 2024, he scored 8 goals and provided 10 assists in the Premier League last season.

Morgan Rogers is in Chelsea's sights. |
Aston Villa does not want to sell Rogers, but may seriously consider the offer worth about 80 million pounds. However, while all the compliments of the midfielder's talent, Emile Heskey wanted Chelsea and Rogers to think carefully because the London team now has too many stars in the attack, he said:
“It would be interesting to see Chelsea trying to recruit him. Aston Villa clearly didn't want to sell the best players, but the financial justice law would make them consider great value suggestions, and he was one of their most valuable players.
However, I'm not sure he will fit Chelsea at this time, even when Raheem Sterling and Noni Madueke leave. He will be behind Cole Palmer on the list of choices in the position of the public, he can kick the wing, but currently Chelsea also has too many personnel in this position.
I think he should stay in Aston Villa for at least one more year. He is growing well, Aston Villa will ensure the main stone position and ensure his development. ”
