Morgan Rogers

Chelsea seal Rogers £117m signing

Chelsea endured a disappointing 2025/26 season and, under new management by Xabi Alonso, are hoping to rebound with major signings including Morgan Rogers for £117 million, a move John Terry publicly praised; the fit between Rogers’ space-loving game and Alonso’s possession-based approach is under scrutiny. The debate around whether the record signing matches the manager’s plans persists, as Chelsea aim to reboot without European competition and critics note Rogers thrives in space while Alonso favors control, with other clubs mentioned in speculation.
