Transfer: 'Good signing' - Cole names player to leave Chelsea after Morgan Rogers' arrival

Chelsea’s pursuit caps a summer in which former City academy players Cole Palmer and Liam Delap also moved for a combined £70 million.

  • Morgan Rogers is set to complete a £117million transfer from Aston Villa to Chelsea, reuniting with former Manchester City academy teammates Cole Palmer and Liam Delap at Stamford Bridge.
  • The trio previously led Manchester City to the 2020 FA Youth Cup victory; City's elite setup develops top talent, though intense competition makes departures inevitable.
  • Palmer and Delap moved to Chelsea for a combined £70million, while Rogers' record-breaking £117million switch highlights the value of elite British talent developed at the Etihad.
  • Flush with cash, Aston Villa may use the £117million fee to fund a deal for Crysencio Summerville, viewing the Dutchman as a potential replacement for Rogers.
  • Selling academy graduates counts as pure profit for accounting purposes; the Blues recently sold Jahmai Simpson-Pusey and Reigan Heskey to FC Koln for £7million.
