Arsenal prepare opening bid for Aston Villa forward Morgan Rogers
Arsenal are preparing an opening bid for Aston Villa forward Morgan Rogers as Mikel Arteta looks to bolster his attacking options.
The Gunners have experienced a relatively quiet start to the summer transfer window but are now accelerating their recruitment plans.
Talks are already underway for Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes, with a second offer expected shortly following an initial rejection.
Villa demand astronomical fee
Attention has now firmly turned towards the 23-year-old England international following his impressive performances at Villa Park.
Unai Emery’s side are highly reluctant to sell their prized asset, who remains under contract with the West Midlands club until 2031.
It is understood that a fee in excess of £100m would be required to force the Villans to the negotiating table.
Statement of intent for Arteta’s side
Securing the versatile attacker would represent a massive coup for the North London outfit.
The dynamic forward has rapidly developed into a pivotal figure, earning praise as one of the standout talents in the division.
Discussions are also ongoing for squad additions, with Christos Tzolis and Jeremy Monga identified as potential reinforcements.
Bringing in these premium targets would demonstrate a clear intent to secure consistent silverware and pursue Champions League glory.
