Surprisingly, this was the first time the Villans had qualified for the competition since it was rebranded as the Champions League in 1992.

Despite the big signings of Moussa Diaby and Pau Torres, perhaps the best thing about this season was the signing of… Morgan Rogers From Middlesbrough in January.

After a strong start to the 2024/25 season in which he made his England debut, it's safe to say he has proven his value to Emery's side this season.

Morgan Rogers transfer value rises at Aston Villa

Aston Villa have agreed a deal to sign Rogers from Middlesbrough on 1 February 2024 for A A fee of only around £8mwhich could eventually rise to £16 million if all add-ons are met. Since joining the club, he is 22 years old He played 39 matchesHe scored eight goals and provided five assists.

When Rogers first joined Aston Villa, he was… The value according to Transfermarkt was around £7 millionBut nine months later, the England international is worth £33m, almost double his maximum fee (£16m) since joining from Middlesbrough.

With the development Rogers has already achieved at just 22 years old, and the desire to have figures of this type, with midfielders who can provide goals and assists, the attacking midfielder could easily become one of the next big-money stars to emerge. From the Midlands, following in the footsteps of Jack Grealish.

Why is Rogers a big-money player in the making?

This was a real breakthrough campaign for Rogers who had already proven himself worthy of the small fee that NSWE paid for his services.

He has earned his England debut and has become a real force in the Premier League this season He scored five goals and recorded four assists In all competitions.

He saved perhaps his best performance in Villa colors to date when Manchester City came to town on Sunday as the young attacking midfielder not only scored what turned out to be the winner, but provided John Doran with the opener.

This type of form has seen Rogers compared to some of the best young English talent around FBref suggestion That the former City academy star 'looks like' Marcus Rashford, who has… It was recently rated as a £100m asset.

Rashford had a difficult start this season with Manchester United. Despite scoring seven goals and providing three assists in 24 matchesThe 27-year-old already finds himself out of favor with new manager Ruben Amorim, who demands a high work ethic throughout his squad.

On the other hand, Rogers has An “amazing” campaign in the eyes of scout Jacek KuligNot only in the Premier League, but also in the Champions League.

In fact, Rashford has averaged better goals than Rogers this season, scoring 0.42 goals per 90 but the pair are averaging 0.18 assists per 90. However, the underlying metrics heavily favor the Villa star who has produced more xG and xAG, and has better progressive metrics, He creates more chances through his shot-creating movements and basic passes for his team.

Even the metric above by which Rashford outperforms Rogers (total shots) actually shows that although the 27-year-old has a greater volume of shots, he actually generates less xG from these shots and chances, compared to Rogers with a lower shot. A little – an amount.

With the scarcity of his profile, his proven ability to deliver output in the Premier League, and the fact that he is still only 22 years old and developing, if Villa were to look to sell Rogers, he could easily come close to that £100m brush he has been painted with. Rashford.
