Chelsea<\/a> are reportedly \u2018determined\u2019 to trump Arsenal<\/a> and Liverpool<\/a> in the race to sign Aston Villa<\/a> star Morgan Rogers, as per TEAMtalk<\/span><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Following Facundo Buonanotte\u2019s departure, the Blues currently have Cole Palmer as the only creative midfield option. Although the Englishman has established himself as one of the best No.10s in the Premier League<\/a> over the last few years, he has struggled with fitness problems this season.<\/p>\n In 19 appearances across all competitions, Palmer has netted nine goals and notched up three assists. He has been helping his side to mount a top-four charge, sitting three points behind fourth-placed Manchester United<\/a>.<\/p>\n As a result of Palmer\u2019s recent injury problems, Liam Rosenior has been trying to manage the 23-year-old\u2019s game time. So, he used Pedro Neto in the CAM role in the FA Cup<\/a> game against Hull City earlier this month.<\/p>\n Now, TEAMtalk<\/em> state that Chelsea are showing a strong interest in signing Rogers to reinforce the CAM position and could make a concrete approach in the summer.<\/p>\n Although Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United are all showing a genuine interest in the Villa star after being impressed by his performances, Chelsea are the \u2018most determined\u2019 to finalise the operation.<\/p>\n Rogers recently extended his deal at Villa Park until 2031; as a result, Unai Emery\u2019s side don\u2019t want to lose him this summer and will only change their stance should they receive an extraordinary offer.<\/p>\n![\"Rememore](\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/FootballTalk_New_Chapter-rememore.png\")
