Morgan Rogers is a one-of-a-kind player, but not always for the right reasons, as his form for Aston Villa brings up a difficult conversation.

The attacking midfielder has been a key reason in helping Villa establish themselves as a European competitor in recent years, and has once again tallied good numbers this campaign.

However, the 23-year-old has one goal involvement in his last five games, something which fans are starting to get used to.

It seems like the Manchester City youth graduate has his best form come in patches, with strong performances never consistent in B6.

Rogers has been off the boil recently, with rumours of his exit starting to sound more comfortable to the Villans.

These season stats show Morgan Rogers is a luxury player

Rogers has been criticised for recent performances, with the latest talk coming after a poor display in the 2-2 draw against Burnley.

Most football fans would look at his attacking output regarding goals and assists, which are combined at 14 in the Premier League and think it’s a good return. That’s not always the be-all and end-all.

As seen in the table above, Rogers’ Premier League stats show an attacking return 0.39 times every game, almost one every three matches.

He has a unique dribbling ability, but his 35 per cent take on success rate proves that he can be sloppy with the ball at his feet some times.

The Englishman is dispossessed 2.25 times on average every 90 minutes, but creates 1.21 chances in the same amount of times.

The data provided by WhoScored above shows that Rogers has been dispossessed a total of 80 times this season, and has 132 unsuccessful touches, which is more than any other Premier League player this campaign.

Given all factors, it might be time to cash in on this luxury player in the summer.

Rogers exit almost best for both parties; his head is somewhere else

A multitude of Premier League clubs have been linked with Rogers, with Bayern Munich and other European outfits also said to be interested.

NSWE proved once again through Villa’s 2024-25 accounts that losses are a concern, especially considering they are set to continue competing in Europe.

This is due to constraints placed against the Villans by UEFA already, who will monitor the club moving forward.

Rogers would not only make Villa the most profitable, but he would be the biggest sale that they could possibly make for multiple reasons, like age, nationality, and of course, ability.

Everyone knows how good Rogers is, but performances recently suggest that he has his mind halfway out of Villa Park, ahead of what looks like an inevitable summer exit.

It could be best for both parties at this point.
