Arsenal Eye West Ham’s Crysencio Summerville as Morgan Rogers Price Tag Soars

Arsenal have been heavily linked with a move to sign Morgan Rogers in the summer transfer window, but due to his hefty price tag, they might want to consider exploring alternatives.

Rogers is a player who is attracting plenty of interest in the summer, which is no surprise after his impressive performances with Villa.

The England international has kicked on massively since his move to Villa Park from Middlesbrough, quickly becoming a key figure for the Midlands club and England.

Due to his performance levels and the fact that the market is heavily inflated at the moment, Villa are reportedly demanding in the region of £130m for Rogers to depart.

Whether this is out of reach for Arsenal remains to be seen, but they do appear to have serious interest in the forward.

Arsenal Eyeing Alternative Target

According to reports, an alternative target for Arsenal in the summer transfer window is West Ham winger Crysencio Summerville.

The Dutch international, who has been representing the Netherlands at the World Cup, is believed to be valued in the region of £50m following West Ham’s relegation.

Summerville would, of course, be significantly cheaper than Rogers, so it would certainly make more sense financially.

The West Ham winger, described as ‘elite’, is destined to return to the Premier League during the summer transfer window, and there is no doubt there will be clubs lining up to secure his signature in the coming weeks and months.

Summerville Better Signing Than Rogers

Taking everything into account, Summerville would be a better signing than Rogers for Arsenal in the summer transfer window.

The Dutch international is naturally a left-sided attacker, which is the position that Arsenal desperately need to strengthen.

The Gunners currently have Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli for the left-sided position, but neither of them have nailed down a starting role in the side.

Rogers is more of a number 10 who is capable of playing on the left-hand side.

Arsenal will need to bring in a player who specialises in playing off the left, and considering he costs £80m more than Rogers, it would be a smarter move to secure the West Ham winger’s signature this summer.
