Chelsea have been linked with the signing of one of the top attacking players in the Premier League as they search for reinforcements ahead of next season.

It has been reported the Blues are interested in Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa, an individual who already boasts a friendly record with Cole Palmer.

Selling Rogers would certainly not be in Villa’s ideal plans, however PSR rules could be about to force clubs to make tough decisions surrounding their better players.

The Englishman would likely be coming into the side to play on the wing, with reports linking them to a number of other new attackers to potentially replace Jadon Sancho.

Chelsea are the favourites to sign Jamie Gittens from Borussia Dortmund, however any signing would likely feel a little underwhelming after links to Rogers, and the club should push to try and get that deal over the line.

Chelsea can please Unai Emery with swap deal for Morgan Rogers

A swap deal could benefit both sides. Unai Emery has admiration for a number of Chelsea players, after taking Axel Disasi on loan in January.

However, this relationship pales in comparison to his admiration of Joao Felix, a player who the Blues will be desperate to part ways with at the end of the season.

Emery is ‘in love’ with Felix, and his time at AC Milan has not left the Italian side wanting to sign him permanently this summer.

A swap deal would work out well for both parties, with the two clubs doing a similar piece of business during the previous summer window.

Chelsea’s previous helpful business with Aston Villa

When both sides needed to balance their books a bit, they struck a deal last year that saw Ian Maatsen leave the club for a very respectable transfer fee.

Omari Kellyman came the other way, however his tenure at Stamford Bridge is yet to really kick off after a magnitude of injury problems.

The attacking midfielder is yet to feature for the first team since joining, however a month ago Kellyman confirmed his season was already over.

The Blues are likely to find it difficult to find a permanent suitor for Felix at the end of the season, however could have accidentally stumbled across the perfect opportunity to upgrade his profile.
