Ollie Watkins can be left with a dilemma now or never about a potential arsenal transfer.
The Gunners did a study on Monday into the Aston Villa striker that was given short work through the Midlands Club. The position of Villa will probably have been hardened even further with their other most important striker Jhon Duran who has been set up for a relocation of £ 70 million to the Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr and they would not sell both.
But Arsenal will not pay too much for a 29-year-old and it is unlikely that they can seduce villa now, so the chance could have disappeared. Villa might have been more willing to sell an older striker than 21-year-old Duran to balance the books, which can explain why Arsenal thought they would see if a deal for Watkins was possible.
But now with the sale of Duran, Watkins is 'dream' to play for the club, his entire family support may have disappeared. In the past Watkins has spoken about how he wants to play “a day” for Arsenal.
The Gunners will have to evaluate and evaluate another offer, but they can now be forced to continue both in this window and in the summer. Mikel Arteta wants to strengthen in this window and Arsenal is determined to be active to strengthen their team and forward options.
There is still a feeling that another deal can be possible and they are working on it, but they also want RB Leipzig -striker to be Benjamin Sesko in the summer with the German club not willing to do business in January.
They are also in for Bayern Munich Forward Mathys Tel, 19, with the French prospect that wants to move to get play time regularly. Arsenal takes everything out of the closet to make a deal happened, but is confronted with a large Premier League competition of people such as Manchester United and Chelsea.
They are still in for Noorway Wonderkid Sverre Nypan with the Rosenberg – teenager who definitely with a large number of clubs – including Aston Villa and Girona – for him.
