Tottenham Hotspur have identified Aston Villa attacker Morgan Rogers as a target after missing out on Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze to Arsenal. The interest follows Rogers’ strong individual campaign in 2024-25, which has attracted attention from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium club and other suitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rogers was named PFA young player of the year for last term on Tuesday night, an accolade that underlined his progress. The 23-year-old finished the season with 14 goals and 16 assists in 54 games across all competitions, statistics that have fuelled speculation about his future at Villa Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He addressed reports linking him with an exit from Aston Villa with a measured response when asked about the links. “I\u2019m happy here,” he replied when asked about the links. “I love football. I love nothing more than just coming out on the pitch and playing football and that\u2019s what I\u2019m doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n“I don\u2019t think about anything else. I can\u2019t predict the next 12 months or anything in the future. It\u2019s just about playing football, enjoying my football and showing everyone what I can do.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Those remarks came as clubs weigh their options following Eze’s move to Arsenal, and Tottenham are among the teams monitoring Rogers. Villa manager Unai Emery will not be keen on losing a player who delivered consistent output across a full campaign, and the club face a decision if formal approaches arrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For now the situation remains one of interest rather than action. Rogers’ recent form and the PFA recognition have elevated his profile, but his public focus on performance and enjoyment of the game suggests he is concentrating on the pitch. Tottenham Hotspur and other suitors will watch developments at Villa Park closely as the summer transfer window progresses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
