Aston Villa turn down €71m from Arsenal for Ollie Watkins

Arsenal are on the hunt for a ‘9’ for this season or next. The priority target is Newcastle's Aleksander Isak. But to get him out of St. James' Park costs more than 100 million euros. That is why he has started to look at other options.

The chosen one is Ollie Watkins, Aston Villa attacker. 'Sky Sports' reported that the Gunners have already made a first offer to the Villans worth 60 million pounds.

However, the same source claims that Unai Emery's Aston Villa have rejected Arsenal's proposal, as they do not want to part with their first-choice striker and the Basque coach's favourite.

It is not the only news in the market for the Villains, as Al Nassr have put up to 75 million euros on the table to take the Colombian Jhon Duran.
