Al-Hilal push for Watkins after Kane talks stall
What's new: Aston Villa rejected a bid worth nearly £40 million for Ollie Watkins and expect another offer soon.
Al-Hilal are pressing ahead with a move for Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins after holding talks over Harry Kane. Villa have rejected an offer worth almost £40 million for Watkins and expect another bid, as the Saudi Pro League club weighs whether to pursue one England forward or more than one before the window closes. Kane, now at Bayern Munich, is reported to be open to a future move, though he also wants to stay in Germany and has begun contract discussions. Watkins has reportedly agreed personal terms with Al-Hilal, but a transfer still depends on a formal deal with Villa. Any sale would force Villa back into the market for a replacement as Unai Emery reshapes his squad.
