Tottenham are readying a sensational late-window move for Aston Villa star man Morgan Rogers, sources have told Football Insider.
Spurs have held preliminary discussions over a potential deal for the attacking midfielder, 23.
The Londoners are in the market for a playmaker after losing James Maddison to an ACL injury, which is set to sideline him for most of the season.
Tottenham will test Villa’s resolve to keep their prize asset and hope they can be forced into a big sale to allow them to reinvest in the squad.
The Midlands giants have been hamstrung by PSR difficulties in recent windows and have had to constantly juggle their squad to avoid breaching financial rules.

Villa privately value Rogers at around the £100m mark, which is likely to be a figure beyond Spurs’ reach.
However, Thomas Frank’s side will look to negotiate their rivals down in order to secure a stunning late coup.

Meanwhile, West Ham are exploring a move for axed Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma in the final week of the transfer window, sources have told Football Insider.
Bissouma was a key player for Hammers boss Graham Potter during his time with Brighton before he joined Spurs for £25m in 2022.
Bissouma, 28, failed to make the Tottenham squad for their opening two matches of the Premier League campaign, including Saturday’s landmark win over Man City.
Now, West Ham have registered their interest in a late-window deal with both permanent and loan options possibilities.
