The Blues completely revamped their first line with five attacking signings last summer, but it is clear that they are looking for more.

Chelsea are already counting on the arrival of Geovany Quenda and Emmanuel Emegha at the end of the season, but are believed to want another addition.

Morgan Rogers mentioned as a name of interest to Chelsea

Having done no business in January, Chelsea are expected to be active again in the summer window, with a number of positions to fill.

It’s no secret that a left winger could be a target having looked at the possibility of Antoine Semenyo, with Alejandro Garancho and Jamie Gittens disappointing.

However, Jacobs confirmed that the Blues are indeed looking for a “versatile centre-back” attacker and gave a name he has heard.

“Chelsea want a ‘versatile central attacker’ in the summer. I don’t think an outright left winger is on their radar because they approached Quenda to be a left winger,” he told Alex Goldberg on Twitch.

“Morgan Rogers is the name I keep hearing.”

Chelsea were linked with Rogers last summer but the move never materialized and the Blues did not even get to the stage of making an offer.

Rogers scored ten goals and registered seven assists in 40 appearances this season and is under contract until 2031.

Chelsea faces an important summer window

With the deal done last summer not looking great outside of Joao Pedro, it is vital that the Blues get it right this summer.
