The North Londoners were linked with several strikers over the last few weeks, but in the end, no move materialised even on deadline day.
Now, an update has emerged on what happened during Arsenal’s pursuit of one key target.
David Ornstein shares what really happened after Arsenal tried to sign Ollie Watkins
Ollie Watkins became a surprise target for Arsenal in the final days of the window.
The Aston Villa star is among the best strikers in the Premier League. He doesn’t get talked about as much as the likes of Erling Haaland or Alexander Isak, but his numbers are still excellent.
Watkins directly contributed to 40 goals in the 2023/24 season and his tally for this campaign stands at 20 already. He is an ‘incredible‘ striker.
Aston Villa rejected Arsenal’s bid to sign Watkins, but David Ornstein has revealed that Unai Emery’s side were open to striking a deal for the right price.
