Done Deal: Chelsea Complete Record-Breaking £117m Rogers Signing

Chelsea have completed the signing of England forward Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa in a British record £117 million deal, making the 23-year-old the most expensive British player in football history.

Rogers has signed a seven-year contract at Stamford Bridge, with the transfer surpassing the previous British record of £116 million set earlier this summer when Elliot Anderson joined Manchester City.

The move underlines Chelsea’s intent to strengthen their squad, with Rogers expected to play a key role in the club’s new era under manager Xabi Alonso.
