Manchester City could block Arsenal's pursuit of Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers this summer. The Gunners aim to enhance their attacking lineup with a left winger and potentially a striker, and Rogers is high on their radar. Mikel Arteta has led Arsenal to a Premier League title and Champions League runner-up, yet there’s room for further improvement, especially in offense.
However, former Manchester United scout Mick Brown suggests City might intervene. He reveals that City has closely monitored Rogers since his departure, first from Middlesbrough and now at Villa. Concerns about his attitude and commitment have faded as he shines on the pitch.
With Pep Guardiola's departure, City faces a summer of transformation, needing replacements for outgoing players, particularly in attack. They won’t want to see a former player bolster a rival like Arsenal or PSG.
Rogers is on track to represent England in the World Cup, which could amplify interest in him. Meanwhile, former Sky Sports presenter Richard Keys advises Rogers to avoid Arsenal, citing concerns over playing time.
Rogers has excelled this season, helping Villa secure a top-four Premier League finish and Europa League glory, making his future one to watch closely.
