Joe Cole says he ‘didn’t realise’ quite how good Morgan Rogers was following his move to Chelsea, branding the attacker an ‘absolute monster’.
Chelsea smashed their transfer record to sign Rogers after reaching a £117million agreement with Aston Villa for the 24-year-old England international back in July.
Arsenal had initially been in pole position to capture Rogers but were blown out of the water by their fierce London rivals in one of the most compelling transfer sagas of the summer.
Rogers has hit the ground running with the Blues, registering two goals and an assist in his three opening Premier League appearances under the tutelage of Xabi Alonso.
