West Ham attempted a last-minute move to disrupt Morgan Rogers’ £12.5million transfer to Aston Villa, but ultimately failed, clearing the way for the forward to join the Villains. The failure of West Ham’s bid was due to Middlesbrough’s high asking price, which was influenced by a sell-on clause in Rogers’ deal that would benefit Manchester City.
As the January transfer window draws to a close, West Ham is determined to strengthen their team and has shown ambition by making bids for players like Rogers. Despite their unsuccessful attempt to sign the talented forward, the Hammers are now turning their attention to other targets, with a new attacker at the top of their list.
Rogers, who has had an impressive season with multiple goals and assists in the Championship, would have been a valuable addition to West Ham. However, with the deadline approaching, the club must act quickly to secure reinforcements for David Moyes’ team and improve their chances of success this season.
