While Rogers is a cheaper option compared to other players Arsenal is interested in, such as Rodrygo Goes from Real Madrid, Anthony Gordon from Newcastle, and Nico Williams from Athletic Bilbao, the transfer fee could still be high. Aston Villa might demand £70m for Rogers, which is a significant amount of money.
Despite this, Arsenal is still considering Rogers as a potential signing. The club could hold formal talks with Villa about Rogers' availability, especially if Aston Villa faces financial challenges. These challenges are related to the club's Profit & Sustainability concerns.
Other players from Aston Villa, such as Emi Martinez and Jacob Ramsey, might also be involved in transfer talks in the coming weeks.
