Arsenal has seen a shock bid for Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins rejected by the club

Arsenal has launched a beautiful blow for Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins prior to the transfer deadline of next week.

Gunners boss Mikel Arteta is a long-term admirer of the English international and the club has now moved for the 29-year-old.

It is clear that Arsenal has made a first offer for Watkins that has been rejected, but an improved attempt is expected.

Watkins still has three years to walk its existing deal in Villa Park and is an important player in front of Unai Emery.

However, a move to Arsenal can rely on Watkins, who has admitted that he grew up like an Arsenal fan.

While playing for Brentford, the attacker said in 2020: ‘That is the dream to play for Arsenal one day. But you know, it’s a long chance. ‘

Nevertheless, Emirates Chiefs have identified the attacker, because the man who, according to them, can ignite their title challenge if they can get Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table.

Villa, however, will believe that they are in a strong position, given the contractual situation of Watkins and it is still to be seen whether the Gunners can successfully collect what one of the most striking transfers of the January window would be.

This season Watkins scored 10 goals in 31 performances for Villa, one of those in the recent 2-2 draw against Arsenal in the Emirates.
