Top insider confirms Chelsea retain interest in 29 G/A ace, perfect replacement for Nkunku | OneFootball

Chelsea retain an interest in Aston Villa ace Morgan Rogers if a transfer were to become possible this summer according to reports.

The Blues have already signed Liam Delap for £30m from Ipswich and are looking to add more new faces this summer.

Chelsea are hoping to sign a versatile forward, left winger and centre back to strengthen Enzo Maresca’s squad ahead of the new season.

Whilst a striker was the main priority and the Blues moved quick to get Delap in, they are also on the hunt for a versatile forward.

With Joao Felix and Christopher Nkunku both set to leave this summer the Blues need a replacement and have been linked with a number of names.

Hugo Ekitike, Joao Pedro and Mohammed Kudus are three names under consideration, but the Blues are yet to make a move for any of them.

RB Leipzig star Xavi Simons has also been looked at, and England international Rogers is admired by those at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea have been linked with the Villa star throughout the summer, but it’s thought Unai Emery’s side want as much as £90m for Rogers.

Mail Sport have reported Chelsea retain an interest in Rogers should a transfer become a possibility, with Villa needing to sell in order to comply with Profit and Sustainability rules.

Rogers, who can play centrally and on either wing scored 14 goals and registered 15 assists in 54 appearances in all competitions last season, and would be a brilliant signing for the Blues.

Whilst Chelsea hold interest in Rogers, Nicolas Jackson is attracting interest from Villa, and the club are thought to be considering a move if a Stamford Bridge exit becomes a possibility.

Emery worked with Jackson at Villarreal at the start of his career and is thought to be impressed by his development since coming to England.

Villa are looking for competition for Oliie Watkins having sold Jhon Duran in January, and Jackson fits the bill, but unless he pushes to leave it’s unlikely he won’t be at Stamford Bridge next season.
