Could he be the best player of the Villans? Just a few hours before the kick-off of the second leg of the quarter-final between Aston Villa and Paris Saint-Germain (Champions League), let's focus on the indestructible Morgan Rogers.

After letting Cole Palmer slip away, Manchester City may start regretting the departure of Rogers (22 years old). Since he packed his bags in 2023, the (very) versatile English offensive midfielder has honed his skills at Middlesbrough before breaking through at Aston Villa.

This season, Rogers has become an English international and is rightfully considered one of the best young players in the Premier League. His tally of 8 goals and 7 assists in 31 PL matches (14 goals and 9 assists in all competitions) is an interesting yield for a 22-year-old offensive midfielder!

This has certainly paid off the investment of 9 million euros made by Aston Villa in February 2024. Today, Rogers' market value is estimated at 50 million euros by the Transfermarkt consulting firm.

Capable of playing across the entire attack line (right/left winger, offensive midfielder, supporting/striker), Rogers allows coach Unai Emery to have a certain tactical flexibility to support Ollie Watkins and Marcus Rashford in the forward positions.

His technical genius in tight spaces and his ability to create shifts have made him indispensable in an Aston Villa team that is fighting for the top 4 (7th place in the standings, two points from fourth place).

It remains to be seen whether Rogers will leave Villa in the next summer transfer window. According to the latest rumors, the English club is even considering extending the contract of its rising star. Double lock the door.

Already a scorer in the first leg against PSG (1-3), will Rogers cause trouble for the Parisian defense this Tuesday? Answer at 9pm.
