Chelsea FC has agreed to pay a record £117m fee to Aston Villa for the transfer of Morgan Rogers, marking the biggest deal in club history.The midfielder, who led Aston Villa to Europa League glory last season, will sign a six-year contract with an optional extra year.His medical is expected to be completed by Monday, paving the way for his move to Stamford Bridge.

Head coach Xabi Alonso, who took charge after a dismal 10th-place finish in the Premier League, has already made high-profile signings like Marco Tardelli and Geovany Quenda, but Rogers represents the club's most significant summer acquisition.The transfer surpasses the previous record of £107m paid for Enzo Fernandez and makes Rogers the most expensive British transfer in history.The 24-year-old, currently with England at the 2026 World Cup, has scored 31 goals and provided 29 assists in 125 appearances for Villa.The deal also highlights Chelsea's aggressive spending spree, with Rogers' fee eclipsing previous transfers.An update in the article notes Nigerians can now invest ₦2.5 million in premium domains for substantial returns, though this appears unrelated to the main story.
