Aston Villa’s Surprising Gamble: Why Morgan Rogers’ Struggles Could Secure His Future at the Club
Manager Unai Emery has started Rogers as a matter of course despite frequent suggestions that he shouldn’t, showing faith in a player whose quality is beyond dispute and attempting to play him into form.
Behind the scenes, it’s understood that Villa are eager to sign the England international to a new deal despite his agreeing an extension within 11 months of joining the club and being committed until the summer of 2030.
Why Villa want to extend Rogers’ contract
Fundamentally, Villa’s admiration for Rogers is rooted in a belief that his recent form, though not without precedent in 2025, is a blip.
He has dominated Champions League matches and made an impact for England, and Villa’s football department aren’t prone to short-term thinking.
