Arsenal faces Premier League record fee to land England World Cup star

With the World Cup stage proving to be a platform for the greatest players in the world to shine on, one of England's brightest players has been linked with a move to Arsenal, but it will cost them a British record fee.

The attacking options for England have been plentiful, with Thomas Tuchel bringing a large variety of talent, from touchline wingers to pocket players comfortable on the half turn.

Although things haven't quite clicked against the low blocks of Ghana and Panama, there have been glimmers of hope from the English stars that have attracted the attention of the biggest clubs around.

With Elliot Anderson showing that he can do the business on the world stage, Manchester City wasted no time in getting a deal arranged for over £115 million.

FC Barcelona has now begun circling around more English talent too, hoping to give Anthony Gordon company with Harry Kane, despite not taking the chance to have Marcus Rashford on a permanent deal.

Now, Arsenal has outlined ambitions to bring Morgan Rogers to North London, but Aston Villa has slapped a record fee on his name.

Aston Villa give Arsenal a £130m ultimatum for Morgan Rogers

Already boasting Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, Ebereche Eze, and Noni Madueke in the England squad, Arsenal is looking to add another English attacker to a championship-winning team.

With another stellar season at Aston Villa, Rogers combined for 26 goals and assists, putting him above all Arsenal players for creativity this year, and reports suggest that he is at the top of the list for Mikel Arteta this summer.

But having qualified for the Champions League again, Aston Villa want to keep their main man, or recoup a massive fee, as they have placed a £130 million price tag on Rogers.

According to The Telegraph, Villa sees Rogers as a record-breaking player and values him over the £125 million that Liverpool paid for Alexander Isak.

This fee would only generate just £104 million for Aston Villa as Middlesbrough hold a 20 percent sell-on clause in Rogers' contract, equating to £26 million.

The Englishman recently outlined a desire to play for Arsenal, although he claimed that there is 'no bigger club than United' amid interest from the red side of Manchester too.

The report states that it is not known whether Arsenal, Manchester United, or even Chelsea (who are also interested) would have the capabilities to spend so much on Rogers this summer.

Arsenal have also had another Englishman in their sights, but have been rebuffed again, as Bournemouth has insisted that Alex Scott is not for sale.

An English core at Arsenal would be a welcome sight to see for national team fans, continuing to build harmony in the squad.
