Aston Villa are reportedly set to sign 21-year-old Middlesbrough winger Morgan Rogers before the transfer window closes.
A report from Football Insider has claimed that a medical has been booked for Morgan Rogers, who will complete a move to Aston Villa soon. The Midlands outfit have agreed terms with Middlesbrough over a move for the 21-year-old.
Morgan Rogers Set for a New Adventure
Aston Villa have been trying to sign the talented young winger for a while, and they will be delighted to have secured an agreement with the Championship outfit. Middlesbrough have accepted a bid in the region of around £16 million, and Aston Villa have agreed personal terms with the player.
The 21-year-old has been in spectacular form this season, and he has 16 goal contributions across all competitions. Aston Villa need to improve their attacking options, and Rogers should prove to be a quality addition during the second half of the campaign.
Aston Villa Wanted to Bolster Their Attack
The talented young attacker will be excited about the possibility of playing in the Premier League, and it remains to be seen whether he can hit the ground running at the West Midlands club. Aston Villa need to add more goals and creativity in the final third.
They have been overly dependent on Ollie Watkins, and the fans will hope that their January signing can make an instant impact. Morgan Rogers is versatile enough to play anywhere across the front three. But he is primarily a left-sided winger.
Aston Villa are currently pushing for Champions League qualification, and they need the right additions in January to finish the season strongly. The Midlands outfit have looked vulnerable in their recent outings, and Unai Emery must look to arrest the decline quickly. Aston Villa have failed to win four of their last six matches across all competitions.
It will be interesting to see if Rogers can lift the spirits around the club and help them get back to their best once again. The West Midlands club were outstanding during the first half of the season, and there is no doubt that they could secure European qualification this season if they can bounce back strongly. It will be interesting to see how the 21-year-old handles the step up to the Premier League from the Championship now.
