Manchester United are reportedly ‘considering’ signing Arsenal target and Aston Villa star Ollie Watkins, as per Caught Offside.
The 29-year-old has been one of the most consistent centre-forwards in the Premier League in recent years. After making 40 goal contributions in all competitions in the 2023/24 season, he netted 17 goals and registered 14 assists across all tournaments last term.
Caught Offside state that Arsenal could still go for Watkins if they fail to purchase Gyokeres or Sesko. However, Man Utd have identified the 29-year-old as ‘top target’ to replace Rasmus Hojlund.
Aston Villa reportedly want £60m for Watkins, and the Red Devils have been struggling to fund a deal to sign Mbeumo with Brentford demanding around £65m. So, they can’t afford to seal Watkins’s deal should Emery’s side stay firm on their valuation.
