Chelsea's growing habit of raiding Manchester City's academy production line continues, with Morgan Rogers reportedly set to become the latest graduate to make the switch to Stamford Bridge, according to BBC News.
Rogers, who came through City's youth ranks before moving on to build his career elsewhere, would join a growing contingent of former Etihad academy products already at Chelsea, reuniting with ex-teammates who took a similar path away from City before finding their way to west London.
The trend highlights an interesting dynamic between the two clubs — while City have long been renowned for developing elite young talent, many of those players have ultimately failed to break into Pep Guardiola's first team and moved on, with Chelsea increasingly positioning themselves as a beneficiary of that pipeline.
While BBC News does not detail the specific terms or confirm full completion of the Rogers move, the report frames it as part of a broader, deliberate approach from Chelsea's recruitment setup to target proven young players with City academy pedigree rather than relying purely on unproven talent elsewhere.
