Arsenal are said to be planning a move for Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers but Richard Keys has warned the England man against the switch.
Rogers has been instrumental for Villa in yet another superb season under Unai Emery and he’s expected to play a big role for Thomas Tuchel’s England this summer.
However, his form with Villa has attracted Arsenal’s attention and with plenty to spend this summer, Mikel Arteta is keen to sign him.
But while many will suggest Rogers and Arsenal are a perfect match, Richard Keys has warned the Villa man not to bother.
Richard Keys tells Morgan Rogers not to join Arsenal
Every Arsenal fan knows that Richard Keys can’t wait to stick the boot in where he can when it comes to Arsenal.
He’s had multiple digs at Mikel Arteta over the years and has often gone on bizarre rants about how the Gunners won’t be successful under him.
Now, after seeing reports of Rogers’ move to Arsenal getting closer, Keys has warned the midfielder on X.
With Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard among the Arsenal players set to be available for transfer this summer, there is a natural spot for Rogers to slot into.
Yes, he has played as a number ten for Villa a lot but he is also excellent down that left side.
As for the comment on Eze by Keys, this is just bizarre.
Eze has ended up a Premier League winner, came within a penalty of being a European Champion, and in general, has had a fine season.
Rogers, then, should simply ignore this ‘advice’ and if the move is there to be done, he needs to push it.
