Aston Villa May Already Have Their Next Morgan Rogers

GiveMeSport's Lee Wilmot highlights 16-year-old Aston Villa academy prospect Oscar Johnson as a potential long-term successor to Morgan Rogers. Rogers departed Villa Park for Chelsea in a £117 million transfer deal during the summer window. Johnson was recently selected for The Guardian's Next Generation 2026 list, which identifies elite young talent across Premier League clubs.

Johnson has quickly progressed through the youth ranks, posting two goals and one assist for Villa's Under-21 side this season. The direct winger has also earned international recognition with three appearances for England Under-17s, having initially joined Villa's academy setup at under-nine level.
