Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins is keen on a move to Arsenal before the transfer window closes, according to reports.


On Wednesday, breaking news emerged suggesting that Arsenal were working on a deal to sign Aston Villa star Ollie Watkins. Later, it was reported that Arsenal had made an initial £60m offer for the 29-year-old.

Latest reports on the rumour indicate that Aston Villa are unwilling to sell Watkins before Monday's deadline, as their second striker, Jhon Duran, is on the verge of completing a big-money move to Saudi side Al-Nassr.

While it remains unclear whether both clubs can agree on a deal, the player's intention is clear.

Reliable journalist Sami Mokbel at the Daily Mail claims Watkins is open to joining Arsenal this month. It is known that the England international has been a huge Arsenal fan since childhood, and in an interview back in 2020, Watkins stated that his dream was to play for Arsenal at some point in the future.

It seems this is a story to keep an eye on before the window shuts.
