Aston Villa firm on Rogers, push for Emerson Royal deal
Villa look to hijack Leeds’ move for Harry Wilson despite SCR issues, aiming to add the winger ahead of their Champions League campaign.
Ollie Watkins accepts a supporting role behind Harry Kane at the World Cup, stressing there is ‘no pressure on me’ and highlighting his impact off the bench, including his Euro 2024 semi-final winner.
Villa tell Arsenal and others Morgan Rogers is not for sale. No formal approaches received, and any move would likely need a huge fee to test their stance, with Villa relaxed over SCR timing and prioritising their Champions League return.
Flamengo reject Villa’s €9m offer for Emerson Royal but talks continue. The Brazilians want a higher fee, citing difficulty replacing the right-back and a Premier League premium.
