'Agents are working': Arsenal fans thank former player as photo of Morgan Rogers 'meeting' goes viral

Arsenal supporters were all saying the same thing after reported transfer target Morgan Rogers was spotted with a former player.

The Gunners are said to be interested in the Aston Villa and England attacking midfielder as Mikel Arteta seeks to bolster his squad this summer in hope of retaining the Premier League title next season.

According to The Athletic, Arsenal are one of several Premier League clubs that have asked to be kept informed of developments regarding Rogers.

Chelsea, Manchester United and Man City have also been touted as potential destinations for the 23-year-old, who will represent England at this summer’s World Cup in North America.

However, some Arsenal fans think Rogers is Emirates Stadium-bound.

An image of Rogers with Kieran Gibbs has emerged on social media and it has left supporters theorising that the former Gunners left-back is playing a role of secret age.

In a potential boost for Arsenal, Thomas Tuchel has revealed England players will be allowed to leave the World Cup camp in order to complete transfers this summer - provided it's not on a matchday.

"It's about common sense,” Tuchel said ahead of the Three Lions’ friendly against New Zealand.

“I would not like it the day before a match, or on a matchday, that's the policy. Maybe two days before too, but let's see.

"But everything else if it's done privately, efficiently and quietly then we are always happy to help.

"It helps to have clarity around any player, the best thing we can have is that so if anyone has a chance to complete a change of club we will not stand in their way.

"But it has to align, of course, with our schedule and our goals which is to be focused and prepared for matches.

"No player has approached me yet but our doctor is ready to do any medicals!".
