A look at British record signings following Morgan Rogers’ switch to Chelsea

Morgan Rogers has joined Chelsea for a fee understood to be £117million.

Here, we take a look at the most expensive British players of all time.

Rogers signed a seven-year deal on Tuesday to become the Blues’ record signing, having recently helped England to a third-place finish at the World Cup.

The 23-year-old former Middlesbrough player last season helped Aston Villa secure Europa League glory and a top-four finish in the Premier League.

Rogers’ transfer ended Anderson’s brief stint at the top of the pile, the Whitley Bay-born midfielder having agreed a club-record switch to Manchester City from Nottingham Forest earlier this month.

Having failed in two previous offers for the 23-year-old, who joined Forest from Newcastle in 2024 for £35m, City were successful with a third, with Anderson’s arrival seeing him overtake Jack Grealish as the club’s most expensive signing.

Rice moved across London from West Ham to Arsenal in 2023 for a club-record fee of £100m, potentially rising to £105m.

The England vice-captain has since cemented his status as one of the country’s best midfielders, last season helping the Gunners win their first Premier League title since 2004.

Grealish joined Manchester City from Aston Villa in 2001 for a then-British record fee of £100m.

The Birmingham-born midfielder went on to help Pep Guardiola’s side win the treble in 2023, before spending last term on loan at Everton.

Following months of speculation, England captain Kane finally left boyhood club Tottenham for Bayern Munich in a bid to fulfil his dream of winning silverware.

The Premier League’s second highest scorer has so far registered 146 goals in 147 games for Bayern, helping the Bavarian club to Bundesliga titles in the past two seasons.
