Arsenal are set to pay £130million for Morgan Rogers, a key target for the club. The attacker has established himself as one of the Premier League's standout performers, consistently producing impressive displays.

What's the situation?

Rogers helped Aston Villa win the Europa League before joining the England squad for the World Cup, where he has largely been used as a substitute.

He is undoubtedly a top player, but with Jude Bellingham ahead of him in the pecking order, regular starts have been difficult to come by. Nevertheless, his quality at club level is beyond question.

Why the high valuation?

Villa know they have one of the Premier League's brightest talents and are determined to keep him. However, according to The Sun, if any club is serious about signing him, they will have to pay £130 million.

Given the fees being paid for top players in England, Villa believe that the valuation is justified for one of the most highly rated attackers in European football.
