Chelsea Target Premier League Sensation to Spark Palmer Revival

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca is looking to strengthen his squad this summer as the club aims to challenge for the Premier League title next season. The Blues still have a chance to secure Champions League qualification and are in the Europa Conference League semi-finals against Djurgarden.

According to The Independent, Chelsea are interested in signing Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers. Villa are reluctant to sell the 22-year-old but may need to for financial reasons. Rogers has impressed with 14 goals and 11 assists across all competitions this season.

A move for Rogers could help revitalize Cole Palmer, who has struggled recently after a strong start at Chelsea. The two were previously teammates in Manchester City’s academy.

Rogers has created 1.5 chances and made 3.7 progressive passes per 90 minutes in the Premier League this season. He’s also averaged 2 successful take-ons and 3.3 progressive carries per 90, showcasing his attacking threat.

With a 37% shot-on-target accuracy and 0.5 goals per shot on target, Rogers could both score and create chances for Palmer. His arrival may be just what Chelsea need to get their star attacker back to his best form next season.

While the potential transfer fee is unclear, Rogers’ performances this campaign make him an appealing target for Chelsea as they look to strengthen their attack this summer. At just 22, he also has significant room for further development.
