Arsenal hit gold on “the legend of the future” worth millions more than Rogers

They may have finished second in the Premier League and made it to the Champions League semifinals, but I don’t think anyone at Arsenal would consider this season a success.

Thanks to Mikel Arteta and Co, the days when top four finishes were celebrated like trophies in the Emirates, just as the team now means that the third runner-up medal in many league campaigns is far from ideal.

Given that the team produced the best defense in the league while scoring 17 goals less than the final winner, it is clear that the board must invest in offensive players to help the team get past the line next year.

This idea may help explain the reported interest in Arsenal’s Aston Villa’s amazing Morgan Rogers, but even if he ends up joining the club, he is worth millions more than one of his new teammates.

Why does Arsenal want Rogers?

So, if the reported price of around £100 million has been proven true, why would Arsenal want to spend such money on one player?

Now, the answer to the second question is certainly yes, and starting with his output, there are several reasons.

For example, in Villa’s 54 appearances this season, in a total of 4,496 minutes, the Halesawen-born star scored 14 goals and was able to provide 15 assists.

It leads to goal involvement that averages on average every 1.86 games or 155.03 minutes. It is a type of offensive ability that North Londoners need in their teams.

For example, Martin Odegard is the midfielder of the team’s current offense, and he has had great offenses in the past seasons, but he has really struggled this year, finishing with 6 goals and 12 assists with 45 minutes of assists, totaling 3,447 minutes, or average every 2.5 games or every 191.5 minutes of goal involvement.

Imagine whether Arteta could take off the Norwegian, give him a full rest, or start a dynamic British instead.

Finally, at just 22 years old, the five-cap International is able to grow alongside some of the other young stars on the team, and is then capable of playing in multiple positions, from mid- to wide.

But with that and the reported fee, Rogers joins Arsenal with a lower rating than one of his new teammates.

Arsenal Star worth millions more than Rogers

Now, Arsenal has recently been blessed with incredibly talented players, from Declan Rice and David Raya to William Saliba and Julien Timber, but it’s no surprise that the star in question is nothing more than Bukayo Saka.

The Hale End superstar has evolved into a North London amulet figure since his debut under UNAI Emery, and his ratings reflect the CIES Football Observatory priced him at 157 million euros earlier this year.

It translates to an astounding £132 million, or £32 million more than Rogers, which could cost gunners this summer.

For example, the 23-year-old, despite missing more than three months of the season with a hamstring injury that required surgery, he still managed to get a sensational distance of 12 goals and 14 assists in 37 minutes, totaling 2619 minutes.

In other words, North London’s “Future Legend” called talent scout Jacek Kulig maintained goal involvement on average every 1.42 games.

Now, when we see the numbers underlying them, how do their pairs stack up on each other? The claret and blue stars spent a significant portion of the season.

Well, not surprisingly, the 43-cap superstar has reappeared in almost every related metric, including exercise, career, goal-achieving action, successful take-ons, tackle, shot, shot, target, key pass, all 90s and all other 90s, along with the non-comprehensive goals you’d expect, the 43-cap superstar has come back to almost every related metric.

Ultimately, Arsenal should be about to sign Rogers this summer. He aims to attack the team with much more creativity and attack, but he had to run to the ground to see his assessment approaching even Saka’s approach.
