Arsenal legend, Paul Merson, has criticized Chelsea for ‘bringing’ Morgan Rogers to Stamford Bridge.
Rogers is all set to become Britain’s most expensive footballer ever by leaving Aston Villa to join Chelsea this summer.
The England international is set to sign a six-year deal, with the option of another year, after Chelsea reached an agreement of £117m fee with Aston Villa for his signature.
Speaking on the development, Merson said in his column for Sky Sport: “It’s a lot of money. Crazy money. Bringing Morgan Rogers in for £117 million isn’t what Chelsea needed.
“They have got Cole Palmer! They play in the same position! Rogers went to the World Cup instead of Palmer because they play in the same position.”
