Arsenal Newsnow: Football Insider reports that Aston Villa is eager to extend Ollie Watkins’ contract, but that Arsenal may make a move for him in the summer. If circumstances need it, Mikel Arteta might be in the market for a new attacker. The £75,000-a-week striker would be one of his possibilities.
Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins is on a scoring rampage right now. He had 13 goals in his past 12 appearances before scoring twice against Newcastle United. The English striker’s status continues to grow under Unai Emery and his weekly salary of £75,000.
Thanks to his recent performance and Villa’s consistency, the team now has realistic hopes of making the Europa League. If that occurs, the team will turn to Watkins to usher in a new era of success. The Premier League team may be able to give the £75,000-per-week striker a better deal.
Arsenal is one of the teams monitoring his condition. His worth to Villa will be at an all-time high in the next transfer window as the club looks to extend his current contract, which runs until 2025. If the 27-year-old wants to test himself more, he will have many opportunities to do so.
It’s possible that Mikel Arteta may look for a forward in the next transfer window. Leandro Trossard, Eddie Nketiah, and Gabriel Jesus all seem like locks for starting roles. With Folarin Balogun, Arsenal may be in a different position.

Arsenal Newsnow: Arsenal is monitoring Ollie Watkins’ position at Aston Villa with an eye toward making a summer transfer
Balogun may leave Arsenal this summer if the club is unable to offer him regular playing time in the first team. After a fantastic season at Stade Reims, where he is on loan for the year, his value has increased and he wants to play frequently. Arteta may need a new striker, as rumours have spread that Arsenal are interested in Dusan Vlahovic.
Given his physique and skill in the air, Watkins comes close. With Jesus and the other attackers doing so well, he may not be a regular starter for Arsenal. Watkins may sign a new contract with Villa, ensuring his long-term presence on the team. In case of unexpected developments, the Gunners or other powerful clubs might be ready to make a serious offer.
Saturday’s 3-0 win against Champions League contender Newcastle was largely due to two goals and one assist from Ollie Watkins.
Watkins controlled play at one end, while Newcastle struggled without Callum Wilson’s scoring touch. Anthony Gordon’s replacement, Jacob Murphy, was just as ineffective in the attack. Neither player could accomplish much without him. Ashley Young, who is 37 years old, looked like he was in his prime because of how Gordon limited his touches on the ball and prevented him from threatening Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez. He and Murphy’s lacklustre acting had the audience tuning out well before the show’s first hour.
