Aston Villa skipper John McGinn says Morgan Rogers is a strong voice in the dressing room and the club’s talisman is getting even better\"JohnJohn McGinn and Morgan Rogers(Image: Getty Images)<\/p>\n

John McGinn insists Morgan Rogers is the “whole package” – and says the forward has already become a big voice in the Aston Villa<\/a> dressing room.<\/p>\n

Rogers<\/a> has played a key role in the club\u2019s turnaround in form over the past three months, having started the season slowly, much like Villa themselves.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old\u2019s form has mirrored<\/a> the team\u2019s fortunes. Villa failed to win any of their first six matches in all competitions, before going on to win 17 of their next 19.<\/p>\n

Following Saturday night\u2019s 2\u20131 win at Chelsea, Villa have now won 11 games in a row, with Rogers scoring seven goals during that run – including three braces.<\/p>\n

He beat Guglielmo Vicario with a stunning finish at Tottenham to spark a revival in the capital, before netting twice against both Leeds and West Ham, and scoring both of Villa\u2019s goals against Manchester United.<\/p>\n

Rogers\u2019 strikes against Tottenham, Leeds, West Ham, and United could each be considered contenders for Villa\u2019s Goal of the Season, with the England international repeatedly producing moments of quality to win games.<\/p>\n

Skipper McGinn has praised the talisman – who also assisted Ollie Watkins\u2019 first goal at Stamford Bridge – for his development at Villa, adding that he believes Rogers is only going to get better.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s cheating isn\u2019t it because he\u2019s got a Puma deal, so he got an experience of the ball before we did! You see him practicing in training all the time, like with that free-kick against Leeds,\u201d McGinn said of Rogers\u2019 ball-striking ability to Sky Sports.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s a top player and he\u2019s getting better and better. The lucky thing for us is that he has just signed a new contract, he is only 23. He\u2019s a big character in the dressing room.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think he has the whole package, in terms of strength, pace, power and the ability to match it too.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the manager spotted it early when some other people were asking why we were signing him.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot only that but the England manager has also put a lot of faith in him. It\u2019s easy to pick the big names from the so-called big clubs but we are a big club as well and competing amongst it.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe brings a lot on and off the pitch. He is always involved in the arguments. He is very stubborn.<\/p>\n

\u201cMe and him clash and argue sometimes, but it\u2019s nothing bad. We\u2019re good mates and it\u2019s great to see him flourish.\u201d<\/p>\n
