The major hurdle in the way of Tottenham as they pursue Villa star after Eze debacle

• Tottenham Hotspur have made Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers a priority transfer target after missing out on Eberechi Eze.
• Aston Villa are reluctant to sell Rogers, who recently won PFA Young Player of the Year, but financial fair play constraints might make them consider a substantial offer.
• Rogers is expected to command a high transfer fee, potentially exceeding £80m, given his contract runs until 2030.
• Spurs are under increasing pressure to secure attacking players following James Maddison's injury and previous missed targets like Morgan Gibbs-White and Eze.
• The club is also pursuing other attacking options, including Monaco's Maghnes Akliouche and Southampton's Tyler Dibling, with Nico Paz of Como considered a more achievable transfer.
