  "summary": "Former Arsenal player Theo Walcott has expressed regret over the club's inability to sign Chelsea's Morgan Rogers during the summer transfer window. Despite signing several players like Bruno Guimaraes, Ezri Konsa, and Christos Tzolis to strengthen Mikel Arteta's squad, Arsenal missed out on securing Rogers, who had just moved from Aston Villa to Chelsea. In a TikTok post, Walcott chose Tzolis over Rogers, stating, \"We should have got him, oh well.\" Rogers has played in every Premier League match Chelsea has played so far this season.",
