Aston Villa appear to have secured the signing of 21-year-old Middlesbrough winger Morgan Rogers, according to reports from Football Insider.
The Midlands club have reportedly booked a medical for the player, who is set to complete the move before the transfer window closes.
Having agreed terms with Middlesbrough for a fee around £16 million, Aston Villa are eager to bolster its attacking options. Rogers, who has displayed impressive form with 16 goal contributions this season, is seen as a valuable addition to enhance the team’s creativity and goal-scoring capabilities.
Aston Villa currently pushing for Champions League qualification, has experienced a recent dip in form, failing to win four of their last six matches.
The versatility of Rogers, capable of playing across the front three with a primary position as a left-sided winger, is expected to provide much-needed depth.
As the West Midlands club aim to bounce back and secure European qualification, the signing of the talented young attacker could play a crucial role.
Fans will be keen to see if Rogers can quickly adapt to the Premier League and make an instant impact, addressing Aston Villa’s dependency on Ollie Watkins and contributing to the team’s success in the latter half of the season.
