Reports confirm Chelsea Football Club have completed the €137 million signing of England international Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa, making the deal the priciest of the summer and underscoring the Blues’ ambition; Rogers passed his medical today and will be unveiled to fans tomorrow.

The player is set to sign a contract running until 2033, with an option for an additional year, a long‑term deal that reflects the club’s confidence in his abilities.
