Aston Villa’s Hidden Gem Shines Bright…
Once upon a time, Pep Guardiola sold Morgan Rogers for what he might spend on a lavish dinner in Manchester (£1m), but fast forward to today, the talented winger is setting himself up in Premier League’s financial stratosphere, now valued between £95m and £109m according to CIES Football Observatory. To put it humorously, if Morgan Rogers were a stock, he’d be doing somersaults over the market, leaving poor Alexander Isak, who is valued at a mere £84m to £97m, chasing his tail on the trading floor.
The Aston Villa whiz kid, with his prestigious 14 goals and 16 assists last season, has left Liverpool and their lagging £110m bid for Isak looking like they brought Monopoly money to the transaction table. Villa’s treat for Rogers, a shiny new contract, probably even includes a lifetime supply of Villa pies! Guardiola, watching on as Rogers performed wonders against Man City, might have shed a single tear, realizing he let go of a player whose talent shines brighter than a Christmas tree in July. Thankfully, Rogers’ is happy right where he is, despite rumors linking him to Arsenal and Tottenham.
