Arteta pushes Arsenal to sign Rogers from Aston Villa this summer

Gunners boss Mikel Arteta has told Arsenal's board to sign Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa this summer transfer window. The 23-year-old England midfielder is attracting Premier League interest from Chelsea and Manchester United, with Arteta reportedly 'leading the drive' to secure his signature ahead of rivals. Arsenal has already held 'preliminary' talks with Rogers' representatives as they look to bring the promising star to Emirates Stadium. Rogers would be seen as a 'statement of intent' following Arsenal's title win this season, having been instrumental in Aston Villa's UEFA Europa League triumph and Champions League qualification. This transfer battle could intensify with multiple top clubs now competing for the midfielder's services. With Arsenal's squad bolstered after their title success, does this move signal a new era of dominance or just smart business by Arteta?
