Chelsea strike £117m Morgan Rogers transfer agreement as Arsenal left stunned
Rogers has chosen to sign for Chelsea over the Premier League champions with Xabi Alonso instrumental in brokering the deal. The move for the 23-year-old is still being finalised but personal terms are reportedly in place for the attacking midfielder to sign a six-year deal, with the option to a further year.
Rogers is set to undergo a medical on Monday, with the deal coming as a blow to Arsenal who had made the Villa and England star one of their transfer targets. It was claimed on Saturday that the Gunners were growing increasingly confident in signing the former Middlesbrough man after a 'major breakthrough' in talks with the North London club.
