Ollie Watkins is expected to leave Aston Villa in the summer transfer window, and according to scout Mick Brown, the club are already looking at replacements.
The experienced football observer revealed that Villa are expecting the 29-year-old striker to move on from the Midlands club in the upcoming transfer window.
“Rashford is expected to leave, and Asensio is another who is going”, Brown told Football Insider.
“The other one there’s been a lot of whispers about is Ollie Watkins, because Arsenal and Liverpool have both been looking at him.”
Arsenal wanted to sign Watkins in the winter transfer window, but Villa were quick to reject offers for the forward, who is a boyhood Gunners fan.
They are again interested in him, but interest from Liverpool has changed the dynamics of the transfer saga.
Watkins would prefer to move to join the Premier League champions over Arsenal as things stand ahead of the summer transfer window.
Liverpool want to sign a new number 9, and Watkins has emerged as a Premier League-proven striker who is ready to step up.
