Rory Jennings has his say on the breaking news surrounding Morgan Rogers' move to Chelsea!

Chelsea have reached a verbal agreement with Aston Villa to sign Morgan Rodgers and the Athletic are reporting a bit of £117 million has been accepted, although the deal for your attacking midfielder is still being finalised.Personal terms are in place.Six -year contract through to 2032 with the option of a further 12 months and a medical is scheduled for Monday.

This is amazing.This is amazing, isn't it?This is exactly the news that we needed.This is probably the best.If we get this over the line, it will be the best signing that we have made for absolutely ages.Really?

Yeah, absolutely.Not only because of the player, I think he's a class act.I think he did very well for England.I think he's destined for the very top.But it would be such a message.You know, sometimes when you sign a player, there is a statement that you make with that signing.

He's linked with Arsenal.The best team in the country are currently linked with him.And if we get him, if we poach him, not only is it brilliant for us, it's brilliant the message that it sends.Xabi Alonso will clearly want him, clearly get him playing well.He must believe in our project.He must have been given some assurances.

I think this is amazing.If we get this over the line, it will actually be the proof that Chelsea are giving Xabi Alonso the control that he needs.I'm over the moon with this.
