Chelsea Transfer News: Enzo Maresca Boys Now ‘Frontrunners’ to Sign Premier League Star Morgan Rogers as Cole Palmer Injury Wahala Continue

Chelsea don enter January transfer radar early, as reports don claim say dem dey lead the race to sign Aston Villa attacker Morgan Rogers. The gist come out just as the Blues still dey battle the absence of their key man Cole Palmer, wey go still sideline for at least another six weeks.

For Saturday match against Nottingham Forest, Chelsea collect 2-0 win as young defender Josh Acheampong open the scoring shortly after halftime.

The result sweet head coach Enzo Maresca because e mean say him team don now score five goals inside their last two Premier League matches — something wey show small sign of improvement after their blunt attacking form without Palmer.

Even with that, everybody know say the London side dey still find rhythm without their English playmaker, and many dey wonder if dem fit continue that kind scoring form as the fixtures dey pile up.

According to Caught Offside, Chelsea dey seriously consider Morgan Rogers as new addition for January, and the £80 million price tag no scare dem off one bit.

Does Morgan Rogers Make Sense for Chelsea This January?

Rogers season no too sweet so far, as the 23-year-old only don provide two assists and never score any goal in seven Premier League appearances. But him talent still dey clear — e fit play as left winger or inside the middle, though many believe say him dey most dangerous when e dey carry ball forward at speed.

Chelsea already get Pedro Neto and Jamie Bynoe-Gittens wey sabi run wing well, but both of them no too like play through the center. Adding Rogers go give Maresca that direct attacking energy wey fit unlock tight defences — especially against teams wey dey press high or pack midfield.

If the Blues really manage sign am, e go strengthen their attacking options well-well, giving them fresh alternative as dem try survive without Palmer. But the question still remain whether Rogers go find regular play time inside the already crowded attacking lineup.

What Be Chelsea’s Long-Term Plan for the Squad?

Even though Rogers fit improve the squad immediately, e still get wahala around how Maresca go fit arrange all the attacking stars. Cole Palmer sure to claim back him number 10 role once e recover, while Rogers, Neto, and Bynoe-Gittens all go dey drag for similar space out wide.

Another concern be how Joao Pedro fit into the system. Maresca don already talk say Pedro prefer to play off a central striker, but that position go clash with Palmer role as attacking midfielder if dem try fit everybody together. If care no take, this could scatter the team balance and cause selection wahala for dressing room.

Some experts dey suggest say instead of adding more new names, Chelsea suppose focus on developing the young players wey dem already get — to avoid too many cooks inside one attacking pot. Still, if the club really want make January statement, Morgan Rogers fit become one of the surprise transfers wey shake Premier League winter window.
