Morgan Rogers has opened up on the real reason behind his decision to leave Aston Villa and join Chelsea, despite the London club not competing in European football this season.
The England international’s move surprised many supporters, particularly because Villa had secured European football while Chelsea were set to spend the campaign without the added attraction of continental competition.
Rogers had become an important figure at Villa and was widely regarded as one of the club’s most exciting attacking players.
However, the forward ultimately decided that a move to Chelsea was the right step for his career. His decision has since sparked plenty of debate among fans, with many questioning why he would choose a club without European football over a team that could offer him that experience.

Rogers has now explained his thinking, making it clear that his decision was about more than simply playing in Europe.
The 23-year-old believes Chelsea can provide him with the platform and ambition required to take his career to another level.
The transfer also represents a major moment in Rogers’ development, as he prepares to compete for a place in Chelsea’s talented squad.
While some Villa supporters may still be disappointed by his departure, Rogers appears convinced that moving to Stamford Bridge was the right decision for his future.
