Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers is a \u201cdream\u201d target for Chelsea this summer according to journalist Ben Jacobs.<\/p>\n

The Blues have already been busy in the window, and have made three attacking signings in Liam Delap, Jamie Gittens and Joao Pedro.<\/p>\n

More new faces are expected to follow, and Chelsea haven\u2019t ruled out another attacker arriving, whilst they are also said to be in the market for a left sided defender.<\/p>\n

Morgan Rogers a \u201cdream\u201d target<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been reported Chelsea want as many as eight or nine attacking options to rotate between next season, meaning there is room for another attacker.<\/p>\n

Noni Madueke has left for Arsenal, whilst Christopher Nkunku and Joao Felix are expected to depart, with their also questions surrounding Nicolas Jackson\u2019s future.<\/p>\n

Chelsea have been linked with the likes of Mohammed Kudus and Hugo Ekitike, but the Ghana international joined Tottenham, whilst the Frenchman is closing in on a move to Liverpool.<\/p>\n

Villa star Rogers is another name of interest,<\/a> although a move for the England international is viewed as difficult given price and his importance to the Midlands club.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been reported if Villa move for Jackson then Chelsea would respond with an offer for Rogers,<\/a> and Jacobs has now provided an update.<\/p>\n

\u201cMorgan Rogers is a dream target for Chelsea but I am not aware of a way of Chelsea signing him at the moment, even perhaps with Nicolas Jackson being a target for Aston Villa,\u201d he told Chelsea content creator Alex Goldberg as cited on X.com.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cVilla have an \u2018untouchable\u2019 tag over Rogers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rogers scored 14 goals and registered 15 assists in 54 appearances last season, and would add another brilliant option to Chelsea\u2019s exciting attack.<\/p>\n

Christopher Nkunku could end up staying<\/p>\n

Chelsea have a number of attackers they could move on in order to create space for Rogers in the squad, although it\u2019s possible one could end up staying.<\/p>\n

Felix is almost certain to leave, whilst the expectation is Nkunku also follows him out of the Stamford Bridge exit door.<\/p>\n

However, given how he performed at the Club World Cup it\u2019s been reported the Frenchman could potentially end up staying, and the Blues aren\u2019t in a rush to force him out, although if he had to leave to make room for Rogers, it\u2019s likely to be a decision not many would disagree with.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers is a \u201cdream\u201d target for Chelsea this summer according to journalist Ben Jacobs.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5316,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[49,48,561,82],"class_list":["post-5315","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5315","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5315"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5315\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5316"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5315"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5315"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5315"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
