Chelsea wants £80M Prem star – Blues want to end summer spree with dream capture

The likes of Morgan Rodgers is one of the dream signings that CHELSEA would like to make before the close of the transfer window.

Unai Emery’s side missed out on qualifying for the elite European competition after their final defeat against Manchester United consigned them to Europa League football next season. Villa had an impressive run in the tournament last season, beating the likes of Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig before they were knocked out by eventual winners Paris Saint-Germain in a dramatic quarter-final.

But Villa have now been hit with an unconditional €11million fine for a breach of the organisation’s financial regulations, including €5m for failing to comply with the football earnings rules plus €6m for breaching the squad costs rules.

Now Football.London says that Rodgers is one of a number of players that we would like to sign before the close of the transfer window.

Former Premier League star Emile Heskey recently opened up and claimed that Morgan Rodgers would be a fantastic signing for Chelsea, amid talk they are looking to raid Aston Villa for the midfielder.

Heskey said: ‘It would be interesting as it’s another Manchester City player who might make their way to Chelsea, but I think he should spend another year at Villa, at least.

‘He’s going well, the club are on the up, and they could break into that top four this season. That’s a really big challenge and a good one for him, too.

‘I think if he did go to Chelsea, he could be fantastic, but for Chelsea it might be overkill, buying players for the sake of it.”
