“The only way Villa would even think about getting rid of him is if there was an offer in excess of £100m.

“He’s come on in the last eighteen months, he’s an England international and he’s been central in transforming Villa and getting them into Europe.

“It would certainly take more than £100m to get him out of there.”

Can Tottenham afford Rogers?

Rogers is an elite talent with a bright future, and he could develop into a top-class player with the right guidance. Even if Tottenham need to pay a substantial amount of money for him, he could justify the investment in future.
