Arsenal Close to Personal Terms with Morgan Rogers – Romano

Arsenal are pushing ahead in their pursuit of Aston Villa attacking midfielder Morgan Rogers, with Fabrizio Romano reporting that the 23-year-old Englishman has emerged as the club's top summer target to strengthen the wide areas. According to the transfer insider, the Gunners intend to bring in another high-class winger regardless of whether any current attacking players leave the club. Progress has been made on personal terms, with both sides now very close to an agreement on the finer details. The main obstacle remains negotiations between the two clubs. Aston Villa value their key player at around €130 million, though that figure is expected to be negotiable as talks continue. Despite the complexity and the hefty price tag, Arsenal are not backing off and continue to see Rogers as the priority candidate among all options to bolster their frontline this summer. Earlier reports indicated that Villa are reluctant to part with one of their most important players, but financial fair play considerations could eventually influence their stance at the negotiating table.
