<p><a href="https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/2074261/arsenal-morgan-rogers-andrea-berta-aston-villa" target="_blank">The Express reports</a> that Arsenal are contniuing informal discussions over a deal for Rogers, with sporting director Andrea Berta collecting intel on left-wing options for the Gunners. Higher profile targets including <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/nico-williams-arsenal-barcelona-given-up-signing-athletic-links-explained-lamine-yamal/blt446b0505e7f7e9af" target="_self">Nico Williams</a>, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/arsenal-key-reason-avoid-rodrgyo-transfer-former-defender-gabriel-martinelli-point/blt55e560a789f430f1" target="_blank">Rodrygo</a> and Anthony Gordon have been ruled out, as their transfer fee or expected wages would be too high for the club's budget.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Villa would likely demand a fee of at least £70m for Rogers, who has emerged as a key player for the Villans under Unai Emery. The Birmingham club are under PSR pressure, but are believed to be exploring a sale of their women's team or other first-team players in <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/chelsea-enter-emiliano-martinez-race-aston-villa-manchester-united-galatasaray/blt73635a347053e14c" target="_blank">Emi Martinez</a> or <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/spurs-consider-gbp40m-swoop-jacob-ramsey-thomas-frank-eyes-midfield-additions-summer-west-ham-also-monitoring-developments/blt3889bcb67c54d416" target="_blank">Jacob Ramsey</a>, rather than facilitating a deal for Rogers. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Arsenal are also rumoured to be tracking the future of <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/arsenal-tottenham-eberechi-eze-gunners-crystal-palace-rodrygo/blt3a4e7deeeb09a114" target="_blank">Eberechi Eze</a>, who had previously been linked with arch-rivals Tottenham, as they look for options to compete with, or possibly replace incumbent starter Gabriel Martinelli. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/gabriel-martinelli-arsenal-future-gunners-brazil-winger-wage-bill/bltbbb2ebfd329a5af0#cs5299af4dcd06e799" target="_self">Recent reports</a> suggest the Gunners could be ready to move on from the 24-year-old.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Arsenal are certainly expected to strengthen their attacking options this window, with repeated questions over their centre forward position proving to be something of a distraction to the Gunners. They have been linked with moves for <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/viktor-gyokeres-man-utd-arsenal-interest-striker-premier-league-sporting/blt81562e1ad3aa5424" target="_blank">Viktor Gyokeres</a> and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/benjamin-sesko-revealed-arsenal-red-alert-rb-leipzig-change-conditions-striker-potential-summer-exit/blt0edb99b232860134" target="_blank">Benjamin Sesko</a>. If Martinelli does move on, the need at left-wing will become just as urgent, fuelling further speculation of a move for Rogers. </p>
