BREAKING: Arsenal Reach Agreement to Sign Ollie Watkins from Aston Villa
Arsenal have agreed a deal with Aston Villa to sign striker Ollie Watkins for a fee of £60 million, with an additional £5 million in potential add-ons. According to reports from reliable journalist David Ornstein, the bid has been accepted, and both clubs are now finalizing payment terms.
The 28-year-old England international has been a key player for Aston Villa, consistently delivering goals and proving himself as one of the Premier League’s top strikers. His move to Arsenal is expected to bolster Mikel Arteta’s attacking options as the Gunners push for the Premier League title and Champions League success.
Watkins’ ability to press high, link up play, and score in crucial moments makes him an ideal fit for Arteta’s system. His arrival could provide much-needed support for Arsenal’s frontline, offering competition and depth alongside Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah.
An official announcement from both clubs is expected soon, with Watkins likely to complete his medical and finalize personal terms before the transfer deadline. Arsenal fans will be eager to see their new signing in action as the club looks to strengthen its squad for the second half of the season.
