Arsenal weighs up a dramatic swoop for Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers.

The Gunners were already monitoring Rogers close as they searched for a new one forward to challenge Gabriel Martinelli.

And the news about Kai haveertz’s knee injury has only increased the likelihood that Arsenal will go back to the market before the transfer window is closed.

Rogers, 23, would offer high quality and great versatility with his ability to play over all four advanced positions in the manager Mikel Arteta’s preferred formation.

Arteta personally congratulated Rogers when he got his PFA Young Player of the Year Award in Manchester on Tuesday evening.

But villa is determined to stick to England International.

Midlanders have no need to move more players to meet the Premier League and UEFA’s financial rules after selling Jacob Ramsey to Newcastle for £ 40 million and borrowing Leon Bailey to Roma.

They value Rogers at £ 80 million and will probably not maintain offers during that price.

When Sunsport revealed earlier in the summer that Rogers was a main goal for Chelsea, there was talk that Villa offered him a lucrative new contract to ward off the interest from Blues and others.

Regardless of what happens, Arsenal is now under pressure to sign another forward despite spending more than £ 200 million on new signings this summer.

With havetz out for an unspecified period, Viktor Gyokeres is now the Arteta’s only recognized striker.

If Arteta wants a central forward to cover for Haftz’s absence and put pressure on Gyokeres, Atletico Madrid’s Julian Alvarez or even Chelseas Nicolas Jackson would be alternative.

With the former Target Eberechi Eze that will go with Spurs, Arsenal’s option for a broad player would include Atalanta’s Ademola Lookman and Real Madrid star Rodryo – even though the latter is considered very unlikely.

But if Gunners wants a player who can contribute in different roles before and after Hafertz is fit again, Rogers would be a prime candidate.

Breaking Villa’s determination on Rogers before the window closes on September 1 will be very difficult.

Boss Unai Emery wants to add more firepower and is interested in Jackson, who he trained at former club Villarreal.

Although Villa is no longer under pressure to sell, if they want to strengthen Emery’s squad, they will have to raise money from moving players on.

At the same time, Chelsea wants to sell Jackson, rather than agreeing on a loan agreement with an alternative or obligation to buy.

Hafertz’s injury has added a new level of intrigue to the last 12 days of the transfer window and Rogers is very much on Arsenal’s radar.
