The 23-year-old joins the Blues ahead of the 2026/27 season and will become part of new head coach Xabi Alonso's squad as Chelsea continue strengthening their attacking options.
Speaking after completing the move, Rogers expressed his excitement about joining the West London club.
"I'm so excited. For me, Chelsea are the biggest club in London and a club I've always admired since I was a kid. I'm really excited about the project with the new manager, the players we've got and where the club is heading. That's why I'm here and I can't wait to get started," he said.

Rogers arrives at Stamford Bridge after an impressive spell at Aston Villa, where he developed into one of the Premier League's brightest attacking talents. Across 85 league appearances, he contributed to 40 goals through strikes and assists, helping Villa secure a top-four finish before lifting the UEFA Europa League title last season.

Chelsea will be hoping Rogers' pace, creativity, and goal-scoring ability add another dimension to their attack as the club looks to compete for domestic and European honours under Alonso.

THE NO.17 SHIRT: CAN MORGAN ROGERS LIVE UP TO ITS LEGACY?
Morgan Rogers will wear Chelsea's iconic No.17 shirt, a jersey that has been worn by several high-profile players during their time at Stamford Bridge.
Among its notable former owners are:
  • Carney Chukwuemeka (2023–2025) 
  • Raheem Sterling (2022–2023) 
  • Saúl Ñíguez (2021–2022) 
  • Mateo Kovačić (2018–2021) 
  • Pedro (2015–2018) 
  • Eden Hazard (2012–2014), before switching to the legendary No.10 shirt.

  • While the No.17 has been worn by Premier League winners, European champions and club legends, it is Eden Hazard's early years in the jersey that stand out most. Hazard dazzled Chelsea fans before earning the famous No.10 shirt and cementing his place among the club's greatest players.
    Now, the number belongs to Morgan Rogers.
 The question for Chelsea supporters:
Can Rogers fill the boots of those who wore No.17 before him and carve out his own legacy at Stamford Bridge?
