The Arsenal has set its sights on Ollie Watkins as their main target to strengthen the attack in this winter market, and the English forward would be willing to make the leap to the Gunners. However, Aston Villa will not facilitate his departure and will try to keep him in their squad at least until the end of the season.

Since joining the Birmingham team in 2020, Watkins has established himself as a key piece in the Villans' offensive scheme, posting impressive numbers and attracting the attention of top clubs. This season, although not at his best, he remains influential with 11 goals and 9 assists in 32 games, making him one of the most effective forwards in the Premier League. His impact has also been recognized internationally, securing his place in England's call-ups for Euro 2024.

Aston Villa has no intentions to sell Watkins

Arsenal, which has faced problems in the forward line due to the lack of sharpness from Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz, sees Watkins as an ideal solution to boost their attack. However, Aston Villa, who recently loaned Jhon Durán to Al-Nassr, is not willing to lose another key attacker in the middle of the season.

Despite Villa's initial refusal, Arsenal could insist with an improved offer in the coming days. The outcome of this operation will depend on the Gunners' ability to convince the Birmingham club or if Watkins decides to push for his transfer to happen.
