Morgan Rogers set to join Arsenal for €130m

Sky Sports reports that Arsenal are expected to make an approach for Aston Villa midfielder Morgan Rogers, with the fee potentially exceeding €130m. The story is being followed by 127 outlets across the market.

Onside’s model values Rogers at €81m and rates the reported fee as above our valuation. The model assigns a 72% confidence level to the likelihood of a move materialising, noting the bid stage of the negotiations.

If the reported fee materialises, the transfer would represent a significant outlay for Arsenal and would see Rogers leave Villa for a Premier League side that have identified him as a top target. The situation remains at the bid stage, with no confirmation that a deal has been finalised.
