Palmer is now a key player for Chelsea, while Rogers plays for Aston Villa. Despite their individual success, they remain close friends and share a strong bond.

Chelsea's interest in Rogers has been sparked by Aston Villa's potential struggles to qualify for the Champions League. If Villa fails to secure a spot, they may be forced to sell some players, including Rogers.

As a result, Chelsea is considering taking advantage of the situation and signing Rogers, who is a close friend of Palmer's.
