Morgan Rogers has completed a £117 million transfer from Aston Villa to Chelsea, making him the club's record signing. The 23-year-old winger signed a five-year contract with an option for a sixth year, expressing excitement about joining what he called 'the biggest club in London.'
The transfer fee, which includes add-ons, surpasses Chelsea's previous record of £115 million paid for Enzo Fernández in 2023. Rogers, who joined Aston Villa from Middlesbrough in 2024 for an initial £8 million, scored 12 goals and provided 8 assists in 45 appearances for Villa last season.
Rogers said: 'I'm thrilled to be here. Chelsea is a massive club with incredible history, and I can't wait to get started.' He is expected to bolster Chelsea's attacking options under manager Enzo Maresca, who praised Rogers' versatility and pace.
