Sources: Chelsea put plans in motion to sign 14-goal star Joe Shields is keen on

Chelsea are very interested in signing the Aston Villa midfielder Morgan Rogers during the summer transfer window, and they have now put the swap formula into action.

Chelsea are pursuing a player swap strategy in order to reduce the £65-70 million asking price set by Aston Villa for Rogers. The Blues view Rogers as a flexible player who can play both as a number ten and on the left wing. They could use more creativity and depth in the final third, and they are fully aware of the technical advantages of adding him to the squad.
