Aston Villa agree £16m deal for Boro's Rogers


Aston Villa have agreed a deal with Middlesbrough to sign winger Morgan Rogers.

It is understood the deal could eventually be worth £16m if add-ons are reached.

The fee marks a significant profit for Middlesbrough in just six months after they signed Rogers for £1m from Manchester City last summer. City stand to benefit from a sell-on clause.

Boro's recruitment is led by head of football Kieran Scott and chief executive Neil Bausor.

Villa have been keen on bringing the 21-year-old to the Premier League throughout the winter transfer window and now appear to have won the race for his signature.
