“I’m so excited,” Rogers told the club’s official website.
“For me, Chelsea are the biggest club in London and a club I’ve always admired since I was a kid.”
The forward’s arrival represents a significant coup for Chelsea, who have secured one of the Premier League’s most promising young attackers.
Rogers has established himself as a formidable presence in the final third, registering an impressive 40 goal contributions across 85 Premier League appearances during his time at Villa Park.
His standout performances helped guide Aston Villa to a top-four finish before the Midlands club lifted the UEFA Europa League trophy last season, further enhancing Rogers’ burgeoning reputation on the European stage.
The England international spoke enthusiastically about the project unfolding at Stamford Bridge under Alonso’s guidance.
“I’m really excited about the project with the new manager, the players we’ve got and where the club is heading. That’s why I’m here and I can’t wait to get started.”
Since making his senior England debut in November 2024, Rogers has become a regular fixture in the Three Lions setup.
The 23-year-old has already earned 22 caps and represented his country at this summer’s FIFA World Cup, demonstrating his rapid rise through the international ranks.
Chelsea supporters will eagerly anticipate seeing Rogers in blue, with the forward’s dynamic style and creative flair expected to add a new dimension to Alonso’s attacking options.
The length of his contract underlines the club’s long-term commitment to a player they believe can become a cornerstone of their future success.
Rogers becomes the latest exciting addition to a Chelsea squad brimming with young talent, as the club continues its ambitious project to challenge for domestic and European honours.
