Morgan Rogers passes Chelsea medical, signs 6-year contract — reports
· Yahoo Sports
Morgan Rogers was scheduled for his Chelsea medical on Monday, and according to reports, he has now passed those checks and has also put pen to paper on a six-year contract (with a club-option for an additional year). So the official announcement shouldn’t be long now — though Rogers himself will surely be going on post-World Cup holidays for at least a couple weeks before joining up with the team.

Chelsea moved swiftly to secure our newest (partly market inflation-driven) club-record signing, gazumping Arsenal and getting the 23-year-old to join the Blues instead of the Premier League champions. Obviously, £117m is no joke and that will place added pressure on the former Manchester City prospect to succeed, even with two and a half seasons of Premier League football already under his belt (21 goals, 19 assists in 85 Premier League games for Aston Villa).
Rogers is apparently penciled in as the starter on the left wing, though we’ll see how Xabi Alonso handles all the attacking talent available to him, including Rogers’ good friend Cole Palmer, energizer bunny Pedro Neto, and young phenom Estêvão (and all the others).
