Tottenham are keeping a close eye on Arsenal’s stalled pursuit of Morgan Rogers, with the Gunners still failing to agree terms with Aston Villa over the midfielder’s price tag. The gap between the two clubs remains wide, and that stalemate could open the door for a rival suitor to swoop in.
Spurs have long held an interest in Rogers and reportedly know exactly what Villa want for him. Given they have the funds to meet that valuation, Tottenham could use Arsenal’s stumbling block as a chance to launch a genuine offer of their own.
A move like this would add fresh fuel to the North London rivalry, coming on the back of Tottenham’s reported success in beating Arsenal to Sandro Tonali. The Italian midfielder is understood to have opted for Spurs over the Gunners, handing Tottenham an early win in this summer’s transfer battle between the two sides.
Should Tottenham push ahead for Rogers while Arsenal’s talks drag on, it would represent another blow for Mikel Arteta’s rebuilding plans and boost Spurs’ own summer overhaul. For the Tottenham faithful, snatching yet another top target from Arsenal would only sweeten what’s already shaping up to be an eventful window.
