Leeds United interested in Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins

Leeds United are interested in signing Ollie Watkins from Aston Villa in the summer transfer window, according to CBS Sports journalist Ben Jacobs. The reporter has claimed on Twitter that the England international is among the strikers that Leeds are monitoring this summer.

Jacobs has added that there is no problem between Watkins and Villa manager Steven Gerrard. The Villans do not plan to sell the former Brentford star, but things could change if he himself pushes for a move away. The 26-year-old has been on the books of Villa since 2020 when he moved from Brentford.

Watkins has scored 25 goals and created 13 big chances in 74 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career. The striker started for Villa against Everton at Villa Park in the Premier League on Saturday and provided two assists.
