Aston Villa and Morgan Rogers are reportedly discussing a bumper new contract for the in-form 22-year-old attacker amid a superb start to the 2024/25 season.
According to a report by Jacob Tanswell on The Athletic, Aston Villa will look to reward Morgan Rogers with a bumper new contract due to his exploits since arriving at Villa Park from Middlesbrough in a deal worth £15 million in the winter transfer window. The two parties are already in talks regarding fresh terms for the English attacking prospect.
Morgan Rogers and his impact at Aston Villa
Morgan Rogers has gone from strength to strength since joining Aston Villa from Middlesbrough in the winter transfer window this year. A native of Halesowen, the Englishman spent his formative years in his homeland and graduated from the youth division at Manchester City.
However, the 22-year-old rose in prominence during his short spell with Middlesbrough, spending only six months at the EFL Championship club. Rogers’s exploits for Boro compelled Aston Villa to cough up £15 million to sign him on the deadline day of the winter transfer window, with the youngster justifying the investment.
Rogers was superb in the second half of the 2023/24 season but has stepped up considerably in the first few weeks of the 2024/25 campaign. The English attacking prospect has chipped in with two goals and three assists in 12 appearances across all competitions thus far this term.
Set for a bumper new deal
Morgan Rogers has compelled the Aston Villa decision-makers again, this time to offer him a bumper new contract. Despite signing the Englishman in a deal worth £15 million a few months ago, the Villans feel they must reward him with fresh terms due to his exploits thus far this term.
The Villans are “keen to bring Rogers’s salary in line with team-mates and to reflect his standing as a key part of Unai Emery’s side”. Aston Villa recently rewarded Jhon Duran with a bumper new contract, handing him a two-year extension to tie him at Villa Park until June 2030.
Rogers is the next in line to earn a bumper new contract, with the 22-year-old English attacking prospect in talks with Aston Villa. It will be interesting to see if the two parties seal an agreement over fresh terms in the coming weeks.
