20/07/2026The absurdity of the summer transfer window has taken a new twist after Chelsea agreed a £117m deal to sign Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa. ​Everton could feel the ripple effect of the deal, with early murmurs already surfacing around Iliman Ndiaye. ​Aston Villa, armed with a war-chest and Champions League football, are now on the lookout for a Rogers replacement. Last season, Ndiaye bettered Rogers for progressive carries, completed dribbles, key passes and assists per 90. Ndiaye lacks the goal threat Rogers carries, but with a more attack-minded support cast, those are numbers that could rise.
