🚨 BREAKING from @FabrizioRomano:
Arsenal made some calls in the last few days to the agents of Yan Diomandé to understand if there’s a chance to enter the deal. 🇨🇮
🚨💸 Middlesbrough are set to receive £15m from Aston Villa as consequence of Morgan Rogers’ transfer to Chelsea.
A sell-on clause was negotiated as part of the deal, as @TeleFootball reports.
£117m. An all-time transfer record for a British player.
I’m glad Arsenal haven’t spent that on Morgan Rogers. He’s good, but £117m is crazy.
The only player I want Arsenal to spend that type of money on is Vinicius Jr.
🚨🔵 Morgan Rogers will be in London on Monday for medical tests and contract signing.
All documents are ready as #CFC wanted to anticipate Arsenal bid and close in 24 hours.
Rogers will sign until June 2032 with option for further season. 🏴
Arsène Wenger: “I tried to convince Kylian Mbappe to come to Arsenal. I took a plane to fly to Monaco. The night I was at his home with his parents, they were ready to move, until they understood that Monaco would give him a chance.” 🤯🇫🇷
