Arsenal struck gold on “future legend” worth millions more than Rogers

They may have finished second in the Premier League and arrived at the semi-finals of the Champions League, but we are not sure that anyone at Arsenal would consider this season as a success.
He has left for a long time on the days when a finish among the first four was celebrated as a trophy at the Emirates, because, thanks to Mikel Arteta and CO, the team is now serious candidates for each competition in which they participate – which means that a third finalist medal in so many league campaigns is far from being ideal.
Since the team has created the best defense of the League while scoring 17 less goals than any winners, it is clear enough that to help the team overcome the line next year, the board of directors must invest in attacking players.
This line of thought can help explain Arsenal’s reported interest in the brilliant Morgan Rogers of Aston Villa, although even if he had to join the club, it was worth less than one of his new teammates.
Why Arsenal wants Rogers
So, if the price reported by around 100 million pounds sterling turns out to be true, why does Arsenal want to spend this kind of money on a player, and was it even worth it?
Well, the answer to the second question is most certainly yes, and there are several reasons why, starting with its exit.
For example, in 54 appearances for villa this season, totaling 4,496 minutes, the star born in Halesowen was able to score 14 goals and provide 15 assists.
This comes out on average from an achievement to objectives every 1.86 games or every 155.03 minutes, and it’s just the kind of offensive capacity that the Londoners of the North need in their team.
For example, Martin Odegaard is the current team attack midfielder, and although he was brilliant in past seasons, he really had trouble this year, ending the campaign with six goals and 12 assists in 45 appearances, totaling 3447 minutes, which reaches an average objective on average every 2.5 games, or every 191.5 minutes.
Simply imagine if Arteta could remove the Norwegian, or rest it completely, and start dynamic English in his place.
Finally, at only 22 years old, the international at five ceilings could grow alongside some of the other youngest stars of the team, then there is its ability to play in several positions, from the midfielder.

However, even at that time and at the costs reported, Rogers would join Arsenal with a lower evaluation than one of his new teammates.
The Arsenal star is worth millions more than Rogers
Now, when Arsenal is fortunate to have an incredibly talented multitude of players these days, from Declan Rice and David Raya to William Saliba and Jurrien Timber, it is probably not surprising that the star in question is other than Bukayo Saka.
The Hale End superstar has become a talismanic figure in northern London since its beginnings under Unai Emery, and its evaluation reflects this, the CIE football observatory the price at 157 million euros earlier this year.
This is transformed into 132 million pounds sterling, or 32 million pounds more than Rogers could not end up costing the Gunners this summer, and although it is a considerable difference, it would be difficult to say that it is not fair.

For example, even if the 23-year-old missed more than three months of the season with an injury to the hamstrings who required surgery, he has always been able to accumulate a sensational transport of 12 goals and 14 assists in 37 appearances, totaling only 2,619 minutes.
This means that the “future legend” of the London North, nicknamed by the talent scout, Jacek Kulig, has maintained on average an attack on a goal every 1.42 games, or 100.73 minutes, which is not only better than the man managed but also simply in the world.
Okay, how does their pair accumulate against each other when we look at their underlying numbers, then? The Blaret and Blue Star spent an important part of the wide season.
Well, without surprise, it is the superstar wearing 43 years which is closer once again, doing better in almost all the relevant measures, such as real and non-penalty objectives more of assists, progressive passes and doors, actions of shooting and creating goals, successful sockets, tackles, shoots and shooting on the target, 90.

In the end, Arsenal should try to sign Rogers this summer because he would add much more creativity and attack the Flair to the team, but he should hit the ground while running to see his even approach to Saka.
