Aston Villa midfielder Morgan Rogers would walk into Arsenal’s team next season, according to former Premier League striker Jay Bothroyd.

Rogers has attracted widespread interest ahead of the summer transfer window with Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool all considering a move.

The 23-year-old is understood to be open to leaving Villa at the end of the season, while the club are aware that receiving a significant fee for the England international would ease their financial pressure.

Villa are demanding at least £80 million for Rogers, who has 10 goals and seven assists in all competitions for Villa this season.

And Bothroyd, who supports Arsenal and came through the club’s academy, has urged the Gunners to beat competition from their Premier League rivals to sign Rogers.

When asked which club would be the best fit for Rogers, Bothroyd told Sky Sports: ‘Arsenal… he walks into Arsenal’s team.

‘He plays week in, week out on the left-hand side, we [Arsenal] need a player who can play on the left-hand side, he’s got that in abundance.

‘He can do it [play on the left wing], we don’t want another [Gabriel] Martinelli, trust me.
