Tottenham Receive Aston Villa Reality Check as Morgan Rogers Responds to £130m Transfer Reports
Tottenham Hotspur have been handed another reminder of Aston Villa’s growing stature, with former England internationals Kyle Walker and Darren Bent insisting Villa are now the bigger club. Speaking on talkSPORT, the pair backed Villa in the debate as competition between the two Premier League sides continues to intensify.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa are facing a busy summer on and off the pitch. Brighton and Sunderland are both monitoring versatile defender Lamare Bogarde, who could leave Villa Park if a suitable offer arrives, although a new contract remains a possibility.
The future of Emiliano Buendia is also under scrutiny as the Argentine enters the final year of his current deal, while Villa are reportedly considering a move for RC Lens goalkeeper Robin Risser amid ongoing uncertainty surrounding Emiliano Martinez’s future.
Elsewhere, Morgan Rogers has played down claims that he is worth £130 million after reports suggested Aston Villa value him at that figure. The England international has attracted serious interest from Arsenal, but Villa are determined to keep hold of one of their brightest talents.
According to reports, Villa’s valuation places Rogers above Elliot Anderson, whose recent £116 million move to Manchester City made headlines. If Rogers were to command £130 million, it would surpass the British-record £125 million Liverpool paid Newcastle United for Alexander Isak last summer, underlining just how highly Aston Villa rate the 23-year-old midfielder.
