London Standard

Arsenal manager

Mikel Arteta

has been keen to upgrade the left-hand side of his attack, to make room for priority target

Standard Sport understands that fellow left winger Gabriel Martinelli has also been made available this summer.

The Gunners have pinpointed Rogers as their dream signing this summer,

though there has been little progress on any potential deal - said to be in the region of £130million - due to England’s involvement at the World Cup

Arteta is a big admirer of the England international

and would be keen to sign the 23-year-old this summer as he seeks to bolster his squad

Aston Villa are expected to resist Rogers sale, but the player is said to be keen on the move to the Premier League champions.

It is been a rollercoaster transfer window thus far for Villa, having hijacked Newcastle’s move for Johan Manzambi but also seen both Youri Tielemans and Lucas Digne head for the exit door.
