Aston Valley striker Ollie Watkins has decided to continue his career in Saudi Arabian Al-Hilal.
According to The Athletic, the 30-year-old English forward has already informed the Birmingham team about plans to move to Saudi Arabia. Al-Hilal sent a draft proposal to transfer the striker at a cost of around 45 million euros (38.5 million pounds), but Aston Villa supported Vidmova.
Watkins has been playing for Aston Villa since 2020 after moving from Brentford. During this hour, the forward played 278 matches in all tournaments, including 108 goals scored and 47 assists. His contract with the club is insured until the summer of 2028, and the authoritative portal Transfermarkt estimates the player’s market value at 25 million euros.
It was previously reported that Aston Villa had given Watkins a new contract.
