Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has confirmed that the club is actively working on a new contract for Morgan Rogers. The 22-year-old forward, who joined Villa from Middlesbrough earlier this year, has proven his worth with standout performances both in the Premier League and Champions League. His impressive form has led to a potential contract upgrade, signaling Villa’s commitment to keeping their top talents.

Since arriving at Aston Villa in a transfer deal worth up to £15m, Rogers has played a crucial role, starting in all nine Premier League matches and three Champions League victories over BSC Young Boys, Bayern Munich, and Bologna. Initially signing a long-term contract upon his arrival, Rogers has quickly become an essential player, leading the club to seek a new deal that better reflects his position and impact on the team.

Ahead of Villa’s important clash against Tottenham, Emery highlighted his confidence in Rogers’ potential, saying, “Yes, we want to extend his contract—already he’s progressing a lot, but I believe he can do more.” Emery emphasized the importance of investing in young players like Rogers, whose talent and commitment add immense value to the squad.

This decision aligns with Villa’s strategy to retain high-performing players, as evidenced by their recent extension for striker John Duran, who is now secured with the club until 2030. Duran has already scored eight goals across 14 appearances, reinforcing Aston Villa’s emphasis on long-term growth and stability with key players.

With Rogers showing promise and Villa committed to rewarding his hard work, fans can expect the young forward to play a significant role in the club’s future. The contract extension reflects Villa’s ambition to strengthen its squad for the challenging season ahead in both domestic and European competitions.
