💸 Chelsea drop £117m on Morgan Rogers

Chelsea signed Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa for £117m. Seven-year deal. British record. Beat Arsenal to it. He's 23, came back from the World Cup with England, and now he's Xabi Alonso's big statement.

£117m for a guy who scored 14 league goals last season. That's the price of panic after finishing 10th. Villa take the money, Boro take 20% sell-on, and Chelsea stack another attacker on top of Palmer, Neto, Quenda. Good luck fitting all of them.

Next thing to watch: Garnacho out the door. Chelsea need to shift him now. If you're asking for a lean, leave the title odds alone. The over on Chelsea goals in August might be worth a look if Alonso finds a shape.
