Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is reportedly at the center of the club’s push to land Aston Villa midfielder Morgan Rogers in a deal valued at around £100M. If completed, it would represent one of the most expensive transfers in Premier League history and signal Arsenal’s intent to build on their title-winning campaign.
