Transfer: Biggest club in London – Rogers on why he snubbed Arsenal for Chelsea

New Chelsea signing, Morgan Rogers, has spoken for the first since he was officially unveiled by the Premier League club on Tuesday night.

Rogers was heavily linked with a move to Arsenal and reportedly had conversations with Mikel Arteta.

But the 23-year-old has now joined the Blues in a British-record £117million deal.

I’m so excited,” Rogers said.

“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.”
