Aston Villa have signed striker Morgan Rogers from Middlesbrough in a deal reportedly worth around £15m. Rogers, 21, has scored seven goals and provided nine assists in 33 games for the Championship club this season
The England under-20 international moved to the Riverside Stadium from Manchester City for £1.5m on a four-year deal last July. Middlesbrough rejected three offers from Aston Villa before agreeing on a price for Rogers.
Owner Steve Gibson was determined not to let the player leave for less than his valuation - thought to be around £12m. Manchester City also negotiated a 25% sell-on fee from the deal's profits for Rogers, who plays as a winger.
