Gunners, as widely reported, offered Ollie Watkins late. However, after Jhon Duran sealed the last move from Aston Villa to Al-Nassr in the big money move, it was always unlikely that Unai Emery’s side would sanction afterwards.

Arsenal had a “opportunity” to achieve a job Ollie Watkins

“It was something clear that Arsenal was not ready to do that value for a 29-year-old, who is probably not worth so much in their eyes. They decided to propose around £ 40 million. Villa was serious when they suggested £ 60 Prices and if they need to make the numbers function, with PSR and any other.
“They would be ready to talk. We don’t know if it would lead to an accepted offer, but the doors were obviously open at that level and Arsenal were not ready to go there.
“Some people I used to say that Arsenal should bite a hand and go and do it in a moment. But immediately when you suggest £ 40m, and they have a Duran’s possibility on the horizon, Aston Villa immediately turned and saw the situation in Duran. Further dialogue to my knowledge, at least from the substance.
“Now, obviously, for someone who recorded that he was a Arsenal fan as a boy, and that would be his dream move, etc., maybe Watkins would have encouraged to get closer but didn’t get close. moves again or be more concrete. “
Called a “Underrated“Center forward, Watkins scored 11 goals and helped nine others in all competitions this season.
