Aston Villa is interested in Nicholas Jackson, but it could lead to Chelsea moving for Morgan Rogers.
Journalist Matt Law revealed that if the West Midlands Club decides to move for Jackson, it could immediately trigger a bid from Morgan Rogers on Arsenal’s radar from Chelsea.
He stated on his London Blue podcast: “It is said that if Aston Villa goes to Nicholas Jackson, it will soon trigger a Morgan Rogers bid from Chelsea.”
Morgan Rogers is outstanding
The British offensive midfielder was doing very well for Aston Villa last season, and he is currently considered one of the best young talents in the Premier League. He contributed 29 goals in all competitions last season, proving to be a great acquisition for Chelsea.
Aston Villa wouldn’t want to lose him anytime soon. It remains to be seen whether they are ready to test the London Club’s resolve for Jackson. They can use deeper depths with attacking units, and Jackson could be the ideal partner for Ollie Watkins. Aston Villa has been overly dependent on Watkins in recent seasons.
Chelsea can use high quality creators
Chelsea can use more creativity in the final third, and Rodgers will be a solid long-term acquisition. He has all the tools to develop into a top-class Premier League midfielder. The opportunity to join Chelsea is also extremely exciting for him. It is a big step in his career, and he will test himself at the highest level and fight for the biggest trophies.
Chelsea hopes to compete for major trophies next season, and need quality players. Signing one of the best young thrillers in the league certainly helps them improve.
It will be interesting to see how things develop in the next few days.
