Impressive Form Sparks Contract Negotiations
Morgan Rogers, the 22-year-old attacking midfielder, is reportedly in discussions for a new deal with Aston Villa after making a notable impact since his arrival from Middlesbrough in January.
Manager Unai Emery’s Ambitions for Rogers
Villa’s boss, Unai Emery, has openly expressed his desire to extend Rogers’ contract, praising his rapid development. “Yes, we want to extend his contract — already he’s progressing a lot,” Emery stated. He believes Rogers has the potential to achieve even more, indicating that the club sees a bright future for the young talent.
Rogers Set for a Pay Rise
Currently earning around £20,000-per-week, Rogers ranks among the lowest-paid regular starters at Villa. However, with two goals and three assists in just 12 appearances, he is likely to be rewarded with a new contract reflecting his contributions on the pitch.
Aston Villa’s Champions League Ambitions
Under Emery’s guidance, Aston Villa has enjoyed a successful season, qualifying for the Champions League and currently sitting fourth in the Premier League table with only one loss in their last nine matches. The manager is keen to maintain high standards as the club aims to solidify its position among the elite.
Emery’s Vision for Continued Improvement
Emery acknowledges the pressures that come with success but remains optimistic about the team’s trajectory. “I am feeling an increase in our standards, being demanding and being something we want,” he commented. He aims to foster an environment where players feel comfortable while striving for excellence, ensuring that the team continues to evolve and improve.
