Tottenham is preparing for another large recruitment.
Tottenham Hotspur News of England reported in an exclusive report on the 12th (Korea time) that `Tottenham faced the decision to recruit Aston Villa's £110 million (about 200 billion won) player Morgan Rogers.'
Tottenham Hotspur News reported 'Tottenham now faces a tough task to replace Son Heung-min and James Maddison during the final hours of the transfer window. Son Heung-min left for LA, and Madison left for a long time. Tottenham are aiming for Morgan Rodgers in the last few days, and Rodgers is considered a competent resource to replace the two players. However, Chairman Daniel Levy will know that he has to pay a lot of money to bring him in.

Tottenham parted ways with Son this summer and is considering recruiting Son as a substitute. Inside the team, Matistel, Hishalisson, and Wilson O'Donbert were expected to play in that position, but Tottenham is even considering reinforcing new players as they enter negotiations to recruit Manchester City Savinho.
However, Son Heung-min is not the only vacant seat. Vice captain James Madison also left the team for a long time. Madison played in a pre-season friendly against Newcastle in this pre-season visit to South Korea. However, he was replaced in the 30th minute of the second half, but he was replaced in the 41st minute of the second half with a sudden complaint of pain and suffered a shocking injury of an anterior cruciate ligament rupture. Madison has to devote most of the 2025-2026 season to rehabilitation.
Tottenham are considering a big recruit to fill Madison's vacancy. The main character is Aston Villa ace Morgan Rogers. Rodgers was a former Manchester City youth team player who had already been recognized for his potential through the England national team by age.

However, the wall of Manchester City's first team was high. Rodgers, who was on loan, moved to Middlesbrough ahead of the 2023-2024 season and gave up his debut in Manchester City's first team. Rodgers, who exploded his potential at Middlesbrough, immediately moved to Aston Villa in six months and entered the EPL. During the 2024-2025 season, he played as a key resource in Villa. The post-pressure, pass and shot shown between the center and the winger are impressive. He led the team's offense with 14 goals and 13 assists in 54 official games. Brian King, who was a scout for Tottenham, also said that `Rodgers are Son Heung-min and Madison-level players.'
However, the problem is Rodgers' high transfer fee. Tottenham are considering about £100 million for Rodgers' transfer, but Villa reportedly want more than that. As Villa do not want to sell Rodgers, how high they will demand the transfer fee is expected to vary greatly depending on the negotiations. Attention is also focusing on whether Tottenham will be able to fill the vacancy of Son Heung-min and Madison.
