Liverpool Eye Morgan Rogers as Potential New Addition
Liverpool already boast a strong and well-balanced squad, but Morgan Rogers could become an exciting new asset for the Reds.
After spending nearly £400 million in the summer transfer window to bolster every area of the pitch, Liverpool’s attack has taken on a fresh look with the arrivals of Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike. The club also secured Florian Wirtz, who, although yet to display his full potential, remains a creative spark expected to flourish as he adapts to his new surroundings.
Despite these signings, attacking midfield and the left-wing remain areas that have shown inconsistency in recent matches. While Cody Gakpo has been reliable, there’s still room for improvement — and Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers could provide exactly that.
Liverpool Set to ‘Take a Serious Look’ at Rogers
The 23-year-old has impressed this season, scoring twice for Aston Villa and recently netting in an international friendly against Wales at Wembley. Given his versatility as both a left winger and creative midfielder, Rogers could perfectly complement Arne Slot’s attacking system.
According to The Telegraph, Liverpool are among several Premier League clubs monitoring Rogers’ situation, alongside Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City, and Tottenham Hotspur. Journalist Matt Law reported that while Spurs have played down links, a bidding war could ensue if the Englishman becomes available next summer — and Liverpool would be one of the frontrunners.
Why Rogers Fits Liverpool’s Vision
Adding Rogers would strengthen Liverpool’s attacking depth while offering long-term stability. His ability to operate across multiple forward positions would give Slot greater tactical flexibility, particularly in rotations with Gakpo or partnerships with Dominik Szoboszlai in midfield.
Rogers’ creativity, work rate, and technical flair make him an ideal fit for a Liverpool side seeking both youthful energy and attacking diversity. If the Reds decide to make a move, it could prove to be one of their smartest pieces of business yet.
What Klopp’s Liverpool XI Would Look Like Today
With Jurgen Klopp recently resurfacing in interviews — including his appearance on Diary of a CEO where he hinted that a return to Liverpool “theoretically could happen” — fans have begun reminiscing about his glory years at Anfield.
Although Arne Slot remains in charge, Liverpool’s current struggles have reignited debate over what Klopp’s best XI might look like if he were still at the helm.
Defence: A New Generation of Full-Backs
Klopp’s Liverpool sides were defined by their dynamic full-backs. With Trent Alexander-Arnold now departed and Andy Robertson entering the twilight of his career, Klopp would likely turn to Conor Bradley and Milos Kerkez as his next attacking pair.
At centre-back, Virgil van Dijk and Alisson Becker remain untouchable, while long-time favourite Joe Gomez could still challenge Ibrahima Konaté for a starting spot.
Midfield: Endo Anchors the Trio
Klopp valued structure in midfield, and Wataru Endo would likely continue as his preferred holding midfielder. Alongside him, Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister would provide balance — creativity and control — in classic Klopp fashion.
Attack: Wirtz as the New Firmino
Rousing the Kop once suggested that Florian Wirtz could be Klopp’s ideal replacement for Roberto Firmino, and that remains plausible. Like Firmino, Wirtz thrives in deeper attacking roles, linking play for wide forwards such as Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike.
While Mohamed Salah’s relationship with Klopp reportedly cooled toward the end of the German’s tenure, the idea of Isak and Ekitike occupying flexible forward roles evokes memories of the Mane–Firmino–Salah front three — relentless, fluid, and devastating.
The Takeaway
Liverpool’s pursuit of Morgan Rogers signals a continued commitment to evolution under Arne Slot, but also highlights how Klopp’s influence still lingers over the club’s identity.
Whether or not the Reds secure Rogers, one thing is certain: Liverpool’s blend of youth, ambition, and tactical innovation ensures they remain one of the most fascinating projects in world football.
