Arsenal move to capture Watkins

Arsenal are eyeing a move for Aston Villa and England star Ollie Watkins as Mikel Arteta wants to bolster his attack.

The England international scored 16 goals across all competitions for his club last season and has already netted seven times in the ongoing campaign. Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is reportedly impressed by Watkins’ goal-scoring prowess and wants the striker in January, according to Fichajes.

The 27-year-old is an integral part of Aston Villa who are competing in Europe this season and the Premier League outfit is unlikely to let their star player leave on the cheap.

The former Brentford man had earlier revealed that he hails from a family of Gooners and it remains to be seen if he manages to realise his dream of representing the north London club in the future.
