Former Aston Villa striker, Emile Heskey, has insisted that Morgan Rogers is ready to make the step up should Arsenal sign him this summer.
Heskey, however, admitted that it would be tough for Aston Villa, adding that Unai Emery’s side needs to try and keep the England international at the club.
Rogers has been linked with a move to Arsenal this summer, and when asked about his potential move to the Emirates Stadium, Heskey said, “He’s definitely ready for that step up.
“Villa’s in a difficult position where they have to sell players on to balance the books.
“But look, I think for Villa, they’ve got to try and keep players like that. You can’t keep selling.
“I was at Villa when Ashley Young left, Gareth Barry left, and James Milner left. Players like Stewart Downing left. They are really trying to build on top of that and have a go. So it’s tough for them.”
