00:00Morgan Rodgers is at the centre of a major summer transfer battle, with two London clubs looming large, emerging as
00:10leading contenders for the Aston Villa star.
00:13Both Arsenal and Chelsea have reignited their interest in the 23-year-old attacking midfielder, whose form has made him
00:20one of the most in-demand players in the Premier League, especially being a home-grown player as well.
00:27Manchester United are also said to be monitoring the situation.
00:31The England international has delivered an outstanding return of 24 goals and 23 assists since the start of last season,
00:40underlining his status as a top-tier attacking talent.
00:44His performances are expected to play a key role in Thomas Tuchel's plans heading into the World Cup, with a
00:52strong showing in the USA, potentially shaping his immediate future and increasing his value.
01:00Villa remain in a strong negotiating position if Rodgers does decide to go.
01:05His contract runs until 2031. Reports suggest that the club's £80m valuation reflects both his importance and a 20%
01:15sell-on agreement with Middlesbrough would kick in.
01:19Aston Villa are on course for a top-four finish this season and may even finish third.
01:24If they do so, Morgan Rodgers will have played more than just a part in that campaign.
