Arsenal close on Morgan Rogers deal while Real Madrid keeps Tchouameni

Arsenal are reported to be "very, very close" to completing a five‑year contract with Aston Villa midfielder Morgan Rogers, with personal terms near agreement despite a high transfer fee demand.

Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni has signed a new five‑year deal until 2031, rejecting a move to Manchester United after the English club could not meet the roughly €130 million fee and wage expectations. United continue to hunt for a marquee midfielder.
