After a standout season that had fans and scouts buzzing, Morgan Rogers is quickly becoming one of Aston Villa’s most prized assets—and the club is already making moves to make sure he stays exactly where he is.
A Star is Born at Villa Park
Rogers wasn’t just good last season—he was electric.
The 22-year-old forward scored 14 goals and notched 15 assists across all competitions, earning himself a well-deserved call-up to the full England national team.
Considering he only signed a new contract last November, you’d think Villa would feel secure—but his performances were so eye-catching that big names like Chelsea have been keeping a very close eye on his situation.
Villa Want to Reward Talent, Not Sell It
Right now, Aston Villa aren’t under any pressure to sell.
Rogers has just under five years left on his current contract, and the club has no interest in entertaining offers, even from Europe’s elite.
But Villa also have a track record under Unai Emery of rewarding players who deliver.
Since taking over in 2022, Emery has consistently backed his best performers with improved deals—and Rogers could be next in line.
More Than Just a Winger
What makes Rogers even more valuable is his versatility.
Emery first noticed him while preparing for an FA Cup tie against Middlesbrough—and quickly became a fan of the young attacker’s ability to play across multiple forward roles.
At Villa, Rogers has slotted in on both wings and in the No.10 role, proving he’s far more than a one-position player.
That tactical flexibility is exactly what Emery looks for in his squad.
Sending a Message to the Rest of Europe
Offering Rogers another improved contract wouldn’t just be about money—it would also be a clear statement of intent.
Villa want the football world to know that Rogers isn’t going anywhere and that he’s central to their future.
Kamara Could Be Next in Line for a New Deal
Villa aren’t just focused on Rogers. Talks are also reportedly underway to extend the contract of Boubacar Kamara, one of Emery’s most trusted players.
Kamara, who arrived on a free transfer from Marseille in 2022, still has two years left on his current deal.
But when he’s fit, he’s considered absolutely crucial to Villa’s midfield—and his next contract could reflect that importance.
