Arsenal have cooled their interest in Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins as they prepare for the summer transfer window.
Watkins, 29, became a surprise signing for the Gunners in the January transfer window.
However, their £40million bid for the England international was promptly rejected by Villa. Who are reluctant to sell having recently sold Jon Duran to the Saudi Arabian Pro League in a big deal.
With Arsenal in the market for new attacking players, it has been suggested. They will try to bring Watkins, a boyhood Arsenal fan, back to the Emirates. However, it appears that will no longer be the case,
according to แทงบอล UFABET ราคาดีที่สุด ไม่มีขั้นต่ำ Sports . Arsenal have turned their attentions to a number of young targets, with interest in Watkins having ‘diminished’.
Arsenal were linked with a number of centre-forwards during the summer, with RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko a top target last year. But in the end, the Slovenian player decided to extend his contract with his current club.
Victor Yökeres from Sporting Lisbon, another target for Arsenal, is expected to move to another team during the transfer window, while Alexander Isak is also admired, but the possibility of him leaving Newcastle is quite low.
