Morgan Rogers has made a strong start at Chelsea, scoring six goals and providing four assists in 12 appearances across all competitions since his summer transfer from Aston Villa. Five of his goals have come in the Premier League. The Chelsea Chronicle reports that Rogers is delivering in the competitive division. He has made it his aim to become a more productive forward.

Rogers has stated his goal is to be more clinical in front of goal and improve his finishing, having been disappointed with his end product at Aston Villa. He is working on being more ruthless in and around the box. The England international was clinical in Chelsea's 2-0 win against Manchester United, taking his goal well after dribbling through their midfield and defense, according to The Chelsea Chronicle.

The Chelsea Chronicle also reports that Rogers' shot conversion rate has improved this season to 23.81% from 11.90% last season, with the number of shots needed to score a goal halving to 4.20 from 8.40. It is unclear if this is a sustained improvement or a temporary surge, with factors such as playing alongside better players like Cole Palmer and Joao Pedro potentially contributing to his performance.
