18 hours agoArsenal want to sign Morgan Rogers
Arsenal are considering a major bid for Aston Villa attacker Morgan Rogers to boost creativity and long-term attacking quality, potentially at a club-record cost.
Aston Villa midfielder Morgan Rogers has been named the Europa League Player of the Season by Uefa. The England international scored and made an assist in Villa's 3-0 win against Freiburg in Wednesday's final, helping his side end a 30-year wait for a major trophy. Across the tournament Rogers scored three goals and recorded five assists in 15 appearances. The 23-year-old also played 1,088 minutes in the competition, 67 more than any other Villa player.
"Well, number nine has already chosen itself, hasn't it? And I would say number seven has already chosen itself with [Bukayo] Saka," the ex-England man said. "Eleven I'd probably go with, I might even go with [Anthony] Gordon, but I know [Marcus] Rashford has had a good season. I'll probably go with Gordon - and 10 is a very difficult one, an extremely difficult one. "
after a wild GW23 that saw Manchester United stun Arsenal, Manchester City bench both Phil Foden and Erling Haaland, Bournemouth shock Liverpool, and struggling West Ham hit three past Sunderland, the long-awaited fixture swings are here, writes Fantasy Premier League expert Blake Hurst. This is the turning point FPL managers have been anticipating: those with a solid transfer plan can jump ahead, while others panic as form and fixtures flip overnight.
Yes, he's been quiet recently, but if you still own him, he's a definite hold for the next two fixtures. First up, a trip to Old Trafford against a Manchester United side with just one win in seven and one clean sheet in their last 15 - that's not exactly defensive form to fear. Foden also loves a derby, with seven goals in his last seven appearances against United.
