Aston Villa has officially signed Brazil midfielder João Gomes from Wolverhampton, while Morgan Rogers has completed a British record transfer to Chelsea for £117 million (€138 million), as reported by [AP News](https://apnews.com/article/aston-villa-gomes-rogers-2c3d5b63981eabb990e09964b57c8a67).
Gomes, a Brazilian midfielder born in 2001, arrives from Wolves to strengthen Villa's midfield. The Birmingham club, fresh from winning the Europa League and qualifying for the Champions League, reinvests the record sale proceeds to reinforce the squad.
Rogers, a 23-year-old England international who shone at the 2026 World Cup, becomes the most expensive British player in history. He joins Chelsea in a deal that surpasses all previous records for a British footballer.
