Morgan Rogers is believed to be ‘very excited’ about the possibility of joining Arsenal this summer after Mikel Arteta’s team joined the race to sign him.

Rogers has enjoyed yet another huge season at Aston Villa, producing 14 goals and 13 assists, including a goal and assist in the Europa League final.

But despite Villa qualifying for Europe, the attacking midfielder looks set to leave the Midlands this summer, and Arsenal are one of the clubs chasing him.

The 23-year-old would certainly be an interesting option for the Gunners, and the player himself seems very enthusiastic about the move to the Emirates Stadium.

Morgan Rogers is very excited about the idea of moving to Arsenal, according to Alex Goldberg.

Goldberg, who regularly covers Chelsea on TalkSPORT, has revealed that despite interest from the Blues, Rogers’ focus seems to be on joining the Gunners.

Arsenal are linked with a move for Rogers, and the North London club could make their move for the attacker this summer.

Lyall Thomas claims that Rogers is open to leaving Villa, with Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain all interested.

The Midlands club would want in excess of £80 million for the attacking midfielder, which could be reinvested back into the squad.

Noni Madueke recently liked a post about Arsenal being linked to Rogers, and it’s clear he would be a popular addition in N5.

This summer, the Villa player will be going to the World Cup with Bukayo Saka, Madueke, Declan Rice and Eberechi Eze, who could all be getting in his ear.

Rogers would be an interesting addition given his ability to play both the right and through the middle, with the Gunners hoping to add a left winger this summer.

But whether Arsenal would be willing to spend over £80 million on Rogers will be a different story.
