Morgan Rogers has been assigned the No.17 squad number at Chelsea following his transfer from Aston Villa. The 23-year-old completed his move to Stamford Bridge on July 21 and has signed a contract with the club until 2033.
"For me, Chelsea are the biggest club in London and a club I've always admired since I was a kid," Rogers said after finalising the deal. "I'm really excited about the project with the new manager, the players we've got and where the club is heading. That's why I'm here and I can't wait to get started."
The No.17 shirt carries notable history at Stamford Bridge, having previously been worn by Eden Hazard, Pedro and Mateo Kovacic. Rogers also wore the number for England during the World Cup.
Rogers represented England at the World Cup before completing his move to west London. He will link up with Xabi Alonso's squad ahead of the 2026/27 campaign.
