Chelsea Agree British Record £117m Deal for Villa's Rogers Chelsea has made a statement of intent in the transfer market by agreeing to a British record deal worth £117m for Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers.
The signing is more than just a big money transfer; it represents a significant shift in the club's recruitment strategy under new manager Xabi Alonso.
Rogers' impressive rise from young prospect to England international has been well documented, but his move to Stamford Bridge raises questions about the state of Villa's squad.
