Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea have reportedly been set a new price to sign England World Cup star Morgan Rogers this summer.
But Rogers is still expected to play a key part in England’s World Cup campaign as Tuchel looks to end 60 years of hurt in the States.
Get everything you need to know about the World Cup – England updates, the games to watch and stories you missed – in five minutes, at 1pm, every day. While Rogers’ focus is on the World Cup, he will also have one eye on the transfer market and intense speculation linking him with a summer move.
The 23-year-old has emerged as a target for Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea after another fine season in which he Mikel Arteta is keen to bolster his Arsenal squad after guiding the Gunners to a long-awaited Premier League title andsay Aston Villa are braced for a fresh approach from Chelsea ahead of Xabi Alonso’s arrival at Stamford Bridge. Villa were expected to demand around £80m for a player who hopes to shine at the World Cup but it is claimed those around the club believe a fee towards the £100m paid for Jack Grealish will be the ‘starting figure’ for any negotiations.
Asked if the transfer rumours had ever ‘affected’ his game to the point of becoming a distraction, Rogers told The Rest is Football: ‘I think the first time it ever happened it was.
‘You’re in an uncomfortable spot of not realising that people have so much interest in you and you’re not quite realising that. ‘But as you get older and gain experience along the way, you know that comes with it and 95 per cent of it is just noise. ‘You hear it, course you do. You can’t help not .
You know it’s there but you’ve got to use it in a positive way. You just try and get on with your game and just focus. ’, ex-Aston Villa and England striker Emile Heskey encouraged Rogers to think very carefully before making any decision over his future.
‘You have to look at who is ahead of you in both teams. He’s top of the pile at Villa, he is the main man. If he goes to Arsenal, where would he be in that pecking order and does it suit the way he plays?
‘He is a very intelligent player so I’m sure it would. But he has to figure out what he wants from his career. ’ After facing Croatia in their World Cup opener, England take on Ghana and Panama as they look to progress from Group L and reach the knockout stages.
