Chelsea could reportedly offer up three of their current squad in order to land a player who has been named their \u2018top target\u2019 from Aston Villa in recent days.<\/p>\n
Chelsea<\/a> have added a good deal of talent to their squad so far this summer. The big names in forward areas are Jamie Gittens, Joao Pedro and Liam Delap.<\/p>\n But the Blues are still eager to add more depth to their forward ranks, and it\u2019s recently been revealed that their \u2018top target\u2019 is Aston Villa\u2019s Morgan Rogers<\/a>.<\/p>\n TBRFootball<\/a> reiterates that they have not \u2018given up on\u2019 the forward, who it\u2019s believed will command an \u00a380million fee, and they feel they can \u2018still strike a deal with Aston Villa\u2019.<\/p>\n But Chelsea have in mind a swap deal to bring down that price and get rid of some players who aren\u2019t having as much of an impact as they feel Rogers<\/a> will have.<\/p>\n The report suggests there are some players that Chelsea would look to send to Villa on \u2018preferential terms\u2019.<\/p>\n Tosin Adarabioyo, Trevoh Chalobah and Benoit Badiashile \u2018could be offered\u2019 to the Villans. Midfielder Andrey Santos is also a player Villa have \u2018talked about\u2019.<\/p>\n However, Villa\u2019s interest in Blues forward Nicolas Jackson could prompt some movement. Villa have been contacted by intermediaries given Jackson is unsettled by the signings of fellow strikers Pedro and Delap.<\/p>\n MORE ON CHELSEA FROM F365: He is believed to be interested in working with his former Villarreal boss Unai Emery again. A recent report suggested that if Villa did lodge an offer for Jackson, it would \u2018trigger an immediate formal offer\u2019 from Chelsea for Rogers<\/a>.<\/p>\n Indeed, a partial swap deal is not on the cards, nor does that look to be the case for any of the other players Chelsea would be willing to give to Villa, but Chelsea were said to feel two separate deals could be reached.<\/p>\n But if the Jackson route is taken, the previous report suggested the saga might move into August, given both clubs are juggling their money, hence wanting to do different deals and not a swap.<\/p>\n There is potential for a hijack, with both Arsenal and Liverpool said to still be watching Rogers, but Chelsea have maintained interest in actively chasing a deal for Rogers.<\/p>\n Chelsea\u2019s co-director of recruitment Joe Shields is understood to be pushing for Rogers, a player he signed during his time at Manchester City.<\/p>\n
