Aston Villa and Al-Hilal achieved new ownership with the transfer of striker Ollie Watkins.
According to insider Fabrizio Romano, the Saudi club has agreed to all the details of the transfer of the 30-year-old Englishman.
Aston Villa accepted the remaining offer amounting to 58.4 million euros in guaranteed amount. Another 2 million transferred to view bonuses. It's clear that Watkins will be destroyed in Saudi Arabia this year.
Thus, the striker’s rich period in Aston Valley comes to an end. Watkins played for Birmingham in 2020, playing 278 matches for the team in all tournaments. 108 goals and 47 assists.
It appears that Watkins' replacement in the attack is Nicholas Jackson.
