Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers is making a name for himself this season and his performances are earning him high praise.

His dribbling thrilled many as he tormented the Gunners' midfield.
And the former Aston Villa star Tony Cascarino He is excited about what the future holds and compares him to one of the biggest young talents in world football.
“I really like the arrival of Morgan Rogers,” he said. Weekend sports breakfast.
“He scored a couple of goals for the Under-21s against Austria. I think he's going to be an important player.”
“It really looks, there's something about it, it reminds me a bit of Jamal Musiala.
“He's that guy who takes the ball and makes runs and creates problems for other people. He has a lot to offer.”
“Comparing him to Musiala, well, that type of player, is a huge compliment because Musiala is a real talent. But I do see something in Morgan Rogers, who has that ability.
“He moves with a firm, quick stride, but he doesn't look particularly fast, and yet people can't catch up with him. He just seems to take advantage of the tackles and not flinch.”
