Despite the recent acquisitions of Joao Pedro, Jamie Gittens and Liam Delap, Chelsea are looking to strengthen their attack even further in the ongoing summer transfer window.

Additionally, Xavi Simons is also reported to be on the verge of a move to Stamford Bridge.

But the Bundesliga player is not the only player on Chelsea’s radar, though, as the Blues have also been linked with a move for Aston Villa star, Morgan Rogers.

If Enzo Maresca’s team decide to move for the English international, some of their current players could be offered in exchange for him to bring down Rogers’ price.

One of those players who could be offered to Villa is Tosin Adarabioyo, who only joined Chelsea last summer.

At 27 years of age, Tosin is perhaps Chelsea’s most experienced player and is believed to be a leader in the dressing room.

Maresca would not want to lose Tosin Adarabioyo

But according to CaughtOffside, Chelsea are open to offering Adarabioyo in a swap deal for Rogers.

Rogers is coming off the back of a stellar season where he managed 18 goal contributions in 37 Premier League appearances, thereby catching Chelsea’s attention.

However, Adarabioyo is not the first player that Maresca would want to sacrifice in a potential deal to sign Rogers.

Speaking about Adarabioyo before one game last September, Maresca said, “He is one of the leaders in the dressing room. We are very delighted and very happy with him.”

Villa are also said to be interested in Chelsea star Nicolas Jackson, and if they make a move for him, then the Blues could make a bid for Rogers.
