Premier League giants Aston Villa have signed the young talent they were chasing all winter.

The Midlands club have secured the signature of forward Morgan Rogers from Middlesbrough.

The 21-year-old, who has scored seven goals and provided nine assists in 33 games this season, plays as a winger.

After his team's recent loss to Newcastle United, Villa boss Unai Emery said: "We are motivated and excited to work with [Rogers] and hopefully he can progress here like we think he will do."

The deal to bring Rogers to the club may eventually rise to £15 million with bonuses.

Villa are paying a modest £8 million up front, which is still a huge profit for Boro.

The Championship side secured Rogers from Manchester City for less than a quarter of that sum.
