Tottenham Hotspur want Aston Villa attacker Morgan Rogers

Tottenham Hotspur are interested in recruiting the services of Aston Villa attacker Morgan Rogers this summer, according to the Daily Mail.

The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium club want to reinforce in the final third after the departure of Son Heung-Min, and they are looking to lure the England international away from the Villa Park club.

Rogers is a wanted man in the Premier League after impressing for the Villans last term.

A move to join Spurs could be appealing as they are playing in the Champions League this season.

The Midlands club were fined £9.5 million last month for breaching UEFA’s financial rules.

While they could be forced to sell key players this summer as they need to remain compliant with the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules, they do not want to sell the 23-year-old.

It is unknown whether Spurs will firm up their interest in Rogers with a bid as manager Thomas Franks is desperate for attackers.

He has lost James Maddison to a long-term injury and also missed out on Nottingham Forest star Morgan Gibbs-White.

Villa have always insisted the England international is not for sale and want to offer him a new contract that reflects his status as a key player at the club.

Morgan bagged 14 goals and 16 assists in 54 games across all competitions last season after ending 2023-24 with ten goals and ten assists in 49 games.

Rogers has five years left on his current contract after signing a six-year extension last November, but discussions over fresh terms and an extension are in preliminary stages.

Spurs may need to look elsewhere as Villa will not be keen on losing another key player as Jacob Ramsey closes in on a move to Newcastle United.

The Midlands club will look to win the Europa League this term given the track record of manager Unai Emery in the competition, and they need to retain key players to have a chance.
