England ace Ollie Watkins has been tipped to reject Liverpool this summer and either stay at Aston Villa or join Arsenal, while there has been a key update on the future of Anfield star Alexis Mac Allister.
Watkins hit new heights under Unai Emery last season, finishing the campaign with a hugely impressive 27 goals and 13 assists from 53 games. The striker’s form was pivotal to Aston Villa getting into the top four and reaching the semi-finals of the Europa Conference League, where they lost to eventual winners Olympiacos.
Watkins resultantly headed to Euro 2024 to represent England, and he netted a brilliant late winner against the Netherlands to send his nation into the final.
Watkins came on again in the final but it was not to be for the Three Lions as they were beaten 2-1 by Spain.
Emery and Villa will be desperate to work with Watkins again in the 2024-25 campaign after he shone for them last term, though bids could soon start flying in for the 28-year-old.
Chelsea are interested in Watkins as they try to land an elite centre-forward, while Man Utd were tipped to move for him on Wednesday.
Former Liverpool and Villa defender Stephen Warnock has now explained why Watkins should ideally look to remain at his current side.
But if the goalscorer does decide to secure a big summer transfer, then he has been told to pick Arsenal over Liverpool.
