William Gallas, ex-Arsenal defender, spoke highly of Ollie Watkins and suggested he would be a great acquisition for Arsenal. Gallas believes Watkins, who scored 19 goals in the Premier League last season, would thrive and score even more playing with top-quality players at Arsenal.

Arsenal have previously been heavily linked with a move for Watkins, with rumours of a switch to the Emirates Stadium further fuelled by the fact he is a boyhood Gunners fan.
