According to a report by London Evening Standard on Wednesday May 27, 2026, Morgan Rogers is reportedly “very excited” about the possibility of joining Arsenal this summer, with Mikel Arteta’s side now entering the race to sign the Aston Villa attacker ahead of a competitive transfer window involving several top European clubs overall.
Rogers has enjoyed an excellent season at Aston Villa, registering 14 goals and 13 assists across all competitions. He also delivered a goal and assist in the Europa League final, further highlighting his growing reputation at elite level football consistently.
Despite helping Villa secure European qualification, the 23-year-old is expected to be involved in major transfer talks this summer. His performances have attracted attention from several clubs, and his future in the Midlands is now increasingly uncertain ahead of next season.
Arsenal are among the clubs showing strong interest in Rogers, with reports suggesting the player is open and enthusiastic about a potential move to the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners are monitoring his situation closely before making any formal approach.
According to journalist Alex Goldberg, Rogers is particularly excited about the idea of joining Arsenal, even though Chelsea are also interested. However, his preference appears to be leaning towards a switch to Mikel Arteta’s side this summer window overall.
Lyall Thomas has also reported that Rogers is open to leaving Aston Villa, with Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, and Paris Saint-Germain all tracking him. This has created a highly competitive situation for his signature ahead of the transfer window.
Aston Villa are expected to demand more than £80 million for the versatile attacker, which could be reinvested into their squad. His ability to play centrally or on the right makes him an attractive but expensive option for Arsenal.
