Tottenham Hotspur may have been given a late advantage in the race to sign Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers.
With the transfer window moving into its final days, Spurs are suddenly in a stronger position as Villa face pressure to balance their books.
For fans craving one more big signing before deadline day, this could be the opening.
Thomas Frank wants more creativity in his squad. Spurs have already brought in Mohammed Kudus and Joao Palhinha, but the new manager is still chasing an attacking midfielder.
Several names were looked at, yet none of those deals went through.
Now, Rogers has apparently moved to the top of the list, and Villa’s financial concerns could make him available at a lower fee.

Why Tottenham wants to sign Morgan Rogers?
Rogers has impressed with his versatility. He can play as a central attacking midfielder or on the left, while also offering cover on the right.
At just 23, he fits Tottenham’s long-term plan, and his energy could bring balance to Frank’s attack. Spurs fans know that Son Heung-min shoes are hard fill, but Rogers may be able to offer an extra spark.
Villa, however, do not want to lose him. Yet the club’s push to comply with Profit and Sustainability Rules has already seen Jacob Ramsey sold.
Reports (via Football Insider) suggest one more departure is needed, and Rogers could be the player sacrificed. For Spurs, it feels like a late winner waiting to happen.
Nothing is sealed, though. Manchester City winger Savinho remains on Tottenham’s radar, but City are resisting offers.
With time running out, Spurs must decide quickly whether Rogers is the right signing to complete Frank’s summer rebuild.
The clock is ticking, and the window could end with Tottenham fans chanting a new name in North London.
