The 21-year-old has started the last seven Premier League matches and scored his third goal in last Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Chelsea.

Halesowen-born Rogers joined in January from Middlesbrough for an initial £8million fee and Emery said: “He’s helping us more than the expectation we have because his adaptation has been very quick and his qualities in our structure really are necessary to add.
