Morgan Rogers wasted no time announcing himself at Chelsea, netting just seven minutes into his debut in Saturday's 3-1 friendly victory over Real Sociedad, pouncing on the rebound after Alex Remiro parried Joao Pedro's header, according to BBC News.
The strike marked an instant return on investment following Rogers' club-record £117m move from Aston Villa, and it offered an early glimpse of what Chelsea hope will be a productive partnership going forward. The pre-season outing suggests the west London side are already building attacking understanding ahead of the new campaign, with Rogers looking sharp in blue from the off.
While it's only a friendly, the goal will give Chelsea fans plenty of encouragement about their marquee summer addition slotting in quickly. Further details on Rogers' role and Chelsea's pre-season progress are expected to emerge as the report from BBC News develops.
