<\/a><\/p>\n

Chelsea<\/a> have completed the permanent signing of Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa<\/a> on a contract until 2033; the club confirmed on chelseafc.com<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite keen interest from Premier League<\/a> rivals Arsenal<\/a>, Football Talk<\/a>, citing David Ornstein<\/em>, revealed that the 23-year-old agreed to join Chelsea after speaking with Xabi Alonso<\/a>, and a deal has now been completed for a British record \u00a3117m fee.<\/p>\n

He becomes the Blues\u2019 second confirmed arrival following the signings of Marco Palestra from Atalanta and Geovany Quenda from Sporting CP. At the same time, Valentin Barco is reportedly expected to be announced soon after he confirmed his departure from Strasbourg.<\/p>\n

In the recently concluded season, Rogers netted ten goals and provided seven assists in the Premier League to guide Villa to their second UEFA Champions League<\/a> qualification in three seasons.<\/p>\n

Across all competitions, he provided 26 goal contributions, including eight in 15 Europa League<\/a> appearances as the Villains ended their 30-year wait for a major trophy after winning the competition, with the Englishman winning the Player of the Tournament.<\/p>\n

The medical, media and signing formalities have now been completed, as Chelsea have confirmed on their website<\/a> that Rogers has put pen to paper on a seven-year contract.<\/p>\n

Rogers is \u2018excited\u2019 to join Chelsea<\/h2>\n

Speaking about his move, the 22-cap England international revealed that he is \u2018excited\u2019 to join Chelsea and revealed that he \u2018can\u2019t wait\u2019 to work with Alonso.<\/p>\n

\n

\u2018I\u2019m so excited,\u2019 said Rogers. \u2018For me, Chelsea are the biggest club in London and a club I\u2019ve always admired since I was a kid.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019m really excited about the project with the new manager, the players we\u2019ve got and where the club is heading. That\u2019s why I\u2019m here, and I can\u2019t wait to get started.\u2019<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Rogers looks tailor-made for Alonso\u2019s style of play, offering a wide range of options across midfield and attack due to his versatility.<\/p>\n

Beyond his goal threat from inside the box, his willingness to shoot from distance could provide a valuable weapon for a side that regularly comes up against deep defensive blocks.<\/p>\n

His attacking quality is complemented by an outstanding work rate and constant movement, both in and out of possession, making him an ideal fit for the high-intensity system Alonso is looking to build.<\/p>\n

He was all smiles after completing his move as he posed in his new Chelsea kit. It has also been confirmed that Rogers will wear the No.17 shirt at his new club.<\/p>\n
