£117m Rogers failed at Bournemouth - and feared he may not make it
A look at the point in club-record £117m Chelsea signing Morgan Rogers' career when he doubted whether he could make it at the highest level.
Morgan Rogers, once considered one of West Bromwich Albion's top academy prospects and a regular England youth international, saw his value plummet to just £1 million after struggling at Bournemouth. This was part of a series of underwhelming Championship loan spells; he had previously spent time at Lincoln City and Blackpool. Despite these setbacks, Rogers used the experience to learn resilience and adaptability.
He came to believe that "you can't care what people say about me, I just care about what I can control." Rogers' journey highlights the challenges of transitioning from academy football to professional football and the importance of perseverance in the face of adversity.
