 EPL: Theo Walcott regrets Arsenal’s failure to sign Chelsea player for Arteta

Former Arsenal star, Theo Walcott, has expressed regret that his former club failed to sign Chelsea player Morgan Rogers during the summer transfer window.

Arsenal bolstered Mikel Arteta’s squad this summer by signing several players, including Bruno Guimaraes, Ezri Konsa and Christos Tzolis.

However, the Gunners failed to sign Rogers, who joined Chelsea from Premier League side Aston Villa.

While selecting his combined Arsenal and Chelsea XI on TikTok, Walcott admitted that Arsenal should have brought the England international to the Emirates Stadium.

Walcott then chose between Rogers and Tzolis, saying: “Tzolis, I like him, but it is Rogers.

“We should have got him, oh well,” he added.

Rogers has played in all of Chelsea’s Premier League matches so far this season.
