BBC Sport - Chelsea have agreed a club record £117m deal to sign England midfielder Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa.
The 23-year-old will sign a six-year deal at Stamford Bridge, with an option for a further year.
Rogers will have a medical on Monday after returning from international duty with England at the 2026 World Cup.
The deal would set a new transfer record for an English player, eclipsing the £116m fee Manchester City agreed with Nottingham Forest for another Three Lions midfielder in Elliot Anderson earlier this summer.
Rogers becomes the most expensive signing in Chelsea's history, surpassing the £107m spent on Argentina midfielder Enzo Fernandez in 2023.
The move comes as new Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso shapes his squad before the new Premier League season.
Rogers, who was previously on the books of Manchester City, joined Villa from Championship side Middlesbrough on 1 February, 2024.
He scored 21 goals in 85 league appearances for Unai Emery's men and was part of the team that won the Europa League last season.
Rogers has made 21 senior England appearances, scoring once, and featured in six games at this summer's World Cup.
