OLLIE WATKINS of Aston Villa has been one of the stars of the Premier League...
Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins has been one of the revelations of the season and an England call-up is imminent
Watkins started his professional career at Exeter City, where he scored 26 goals in 78 appearances before moving to Brentford in 2017. At Brentford, he continued to impress, scoring 49 goals in 149 appearances and helping the team reach the Championship play-off final. Before Emery’s appointment, Watkins had struggled to find the back of the net under Steven Gerrard. He had only managed to score one goal in his 21 appearances for the club, a far cry from the form that he has displayed this season.
Emery has implemented a tactical approach that has allowed Villa to play to their strengths, with a focus on counter-attacking football. Watkins has been a key contributor to Villa’s success this season, scoring crucial goals in some of their biggest games. This adaptability is a key attribute for international football, where tactical changes are often required. If selected for the national team, Watkins could thrive in the company of better players. His ability to create and finish chances would be a valuable asset to any team, and he has already shown that he can perform at a high level.
