Delap struggles to even get a good touch in 60 minutes. Joao Pedro comes on and gets a hat-trick and an assist.

The difference in level is ridiculous

‼️ For Arsenal, the value, the realistic value of Morgan Rogers was around £90m, £100m max, no more than this. But they wanted to start a conversation from next week.

What happened in the last 24 hours is that Chelsea entered the deal in a very strong, strong way. Chelsea had a direct meetings with Aston Villa, because they wanted to close the deal immediately.

Chelsea arrived with the idea to get the player, not to start a negotiation.
