January is set to be a busy month for Aston Villa, more so off the field than on it.
Unai Emery is keen to strengthen his squad in the transfer window as they look to book themselves a place in Europe.
The priority position seems to be an attacker, where the side is slightly lacking in depth despite the exploits of Ollie Watkins, Moussa Diaby and Co.
The latest on Morgan Rogers to Aston Villa
This weekend, Fabrizio Romano took to X (formerly Twitter) to provide the latest on Aston Villa’s hunt for Middlesbrough livewire Morgan Rogers.
The young forward is allegedly Emery’s main target, and the boss will hope to secure it his man this month. A move is likely to occur, with the Middlesbrough man eager to move to the Premier League side.
Speaking about the situation this weekend, Boro boss Michael Carrick stated: “Not really [much I can tell you]. It’s just that time of year where there is plenty of rumours and speculation. From my point of view, watching Morgan today, he played well. There is nothing to say really on that one.
“It’s all eyes on Tuesday and we expect him to be with us. From my point of view, it’s pure speculation. Nothing surprises me in football and I don’t get involved in that. I’m only interested in the players we’ve got here to choose from. I picked a team today to try and win the game and we just couldn’t quite pull it off.”
