The Man City Academy Star how much I flourish in the Premier League
Alex Brotherton of BBC Sport Does it set if it is possible for a 22 -year -old to be described as a “craftsman”?
Well, if one fits this description at such a young age is Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers.
This is because, after spending the majority of his youth career at West Bromwich Albion, Rogers was in the books of Manchester City, Lincoln City, Bournemouth, Blackpool and Middlesbrough, before buying from Boro by Aston Villa Villa For mentioned £ 15 million £ Just over a year ago.
His performances at Claret and Blue have earned reviews, with Ryan Benson of OPTA analyst by highlighting a “rising star” while, as noted by Toby Cudworth 90 minutesHe became the first player in the history of the Champions League to score twice in the opening of five minutes of a match in January, thanks to a double fire against Celtic.
On The Guardian Football Weekly Podcast of MondayMax Rushden said the way Rogers play is quite “Lampardian”, adding that he could really be a “more rounded player” than Frank Lampard was ever, while Jonathan Wilson also praised the Middle of the villa, calling the “incredible talent”.
Rogers’ winner against Tottenham in the FA Cup on Sunday got his own MAINTENANCE IN 11 For the season, one more than Foden’s ten goalsWith Haaland the only Man City player who has scored more goals to date.
The midfielder spent four seasons in Sky Blues books between 2019 and 2023, showing up 37 times at youth level but never presented in a superior race team before Sold to Boro for just 1.5 million £. Considering that they are now Rated to 67 million £ from Cies Football ObservatoryIt is safe to say that this could prove to be the biggest mistake that the club made in recent years.
