According to The Guardian, Aston Villa's asking price for Morgan Rogers exceeds £100 million. Meanwhile, Arsenal has also shown interest in his England teammate Ngoyo.

Ngoyo could provide cover for Arsenal's center-back position, especially if William Saliba suffers an injury. Saliba felt discomfort again shortly after the start of the second half in France's 0-2 World Cup semi-final loss to Spain on Tuesday and was subsequently substituted.

The 25-year-old French center-back had previously stated that he had been playing through a back injury for some time. French media reported that he might require back surgery. However, Arsenal reportedly plans to conduct an independent assessment of his injury before deciding if surgery is necessary.

In addition, Arsenal is very concerned about Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka's physical condition and game load. Both have admitted that they have been playing through pain to participate in the World Cup.

England will play France in the World Cup third-place play-off on Saturday. After the match, Rice and Saka are expected to receive an extended rest period.
