Rogers has been exceptional under Unai Emery ever since his arrival in February 2024, but it was the 2024/25 campaign where he truly came into his own.

The 23-year-old registered an impressive 30 goals and assists in all competitions last season, cementing himself as one of Villa’s most important players.

Chelsea were even willing to offer two players in exchange for Rogers interest but it seems as if Emery is desperate not to lose the Englishman.

Meanwhile, his impact has now been further underlined after he was rewarded with a prestigious award, a reflection of just how far he has risen since making the move to Villa Park.

Despite growing interest in the 23-year-old, Aston Villa are reportedly preparing to offer Rogers a fresh deal in an attempt to fend off suitors.

The forward only signed an extension last November that runs until 2030, but the growing attention around his performances may have prompted Villa to accelerate talks over improved terms.

Remaining at Villa Park could also boost Rogers’ chances of maintaining his spot in England contention ahead of next summer’s World Cup.
