Chelsea<\/a> reportedly have a plan in place to launch a bid for Aston Villa<\/a> star Morgan Rogers. The Blues have splashed the cash on attacking reinforcements so far this summer, and further reinforcements in the final third are eyed.<\/p>\n

Jamie Gittens, Joao Pedro and Liam Delap have all arrived at Stamford Bridge, but Enzo Maresca<\/a>\u2019s overhaul is far from complete and the Chelsea<\/a> manager is now armed with Club World Cup earnings<\/a> to complete his spending spree.<\/p>\n

According to The Telegraph<\/a>, Rogers remains a target for the Blues, having been linked with acquiring his services previously. However, a move will hinge on whether they receive an approach from Aston Villa for Nicolas Jackson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Senegalese international faces an uncertain future at Chelsea<\/a> due to the wealth of attacking talent now on their books, and his situation has caught the eye of a host of top clubs around Europe.<\/p>\n

Villa are among those to be interested in signing the 24-year-old, as well as Manchester United<\/a>. Unai Emery worked with the forward at Villarreal and played a key role in accelerating his development with an almighty show of faith with his game time.<\/p>\n

If Villa were to make an approach, Chelsea<\/a> would \u2018immediately\u2019 respond by making a bid for Rogers, incentivised by the prospect of both deals taking place in tandem. It is unclear whether this would be a play to strike a player-plus-cash swap deal or two separate transfers.<\/p>\n

Rogers was one of the breakout stars of last season, asserting himself as one of the most exciting young prospects in the Premier League<\/a> with 14 goals and 13 assists in all competitions. The 22-year-old\u2019s impressive campaign saw him rewarded with an England<\/a> call-up, and he has earned three caps since.<\/p>\n

Rogers is capable of playing across the frontline and as a No. 10, and his versatility could prove key for Chelsea<\/a> next season as they prepare to battle it out on all fronts. Further signings out wide are not being ruled out either though, with Manchester United<\/a> star Alejandro Garnacho and Lyon youngster Malick Fofana still among their thinking<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jackson is also capable of playing on the wing when required, but the higher powers at Stamford Bridge may feel that he could prove more useful being used as a makeweight in negotiations with Villa for an alternative target.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chelsea reportedly have a plan in place to launch a bid for Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers.
