Summary
Rogers is currently with the England squad in Miami for their World Cup third-place play-off clash against France this evening but will have a medical at Stamford Bridge on Monday The deal is a six-year contract, with a seventh-year option, and new Chelsea boss Xabi Alonso was instrumental in the 23-year-old being happy to make the move to the Blues. Yet it is Chelsea who have pounced first. Rogers, who was previously on the books of Manchester City , joined Villa from Championship side Middlesbrough in January 2024.
Furthermore, Rogers played an instrumental role in Villa reaching the Champions League and winning the Europa League last season, providing 14 goals and 12 assists in all competitions, and has been a key player for England at the World Cup. Rogers’ arrival will add significant creativity and versatility to Chelsea’s attack as they look to strengthen their squad for the 2026/27 season. Rogers has made 21 senior England appearances, scoring once, and featured in six games for the Three Lions at this summer's World Cup.
In addition, Arsenal were interested in Rogers and made contact with Villa this month but Chelsea have long tracked the 23-year-old’s progress and have moved quickly to land one of Xabi Alonso’s top targets. Despite an absence from any European competition next season, Rogers is thought to have been swayed by the presence of manager Xabi Alonso. Such is the scale of this proposed deal, Rogers has to be considered in broader terms.
