According to the English tabloid, the Reds are targeting Ollie Watkins (28 years old). The striker from Aston Villa, who has had another good season with the Villans (19 goals in the Premier League), fits the profile sought by Liverpool's new staff. As a result, facing this possible departure of their top scorer, Aston Villa and Unai Emery are looking for a replacement.

Liverpool's new coach Arne Slot targets Ollie Watkins as a potential addition to the team's attack. Watkins, who scored 19 goals in the league and helped Aston Villa reach the Champions League, has recently extended his contract with Aston Villa until 2028.

Liverpool are reportedly planning to pursue a summer move for Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins as they look to sign a Darwin Nunez replacement. With Arne Slot replacing Jurgen Klopp as Liverpool’s manager this summer, the Reds are keen to provide the Dutchman with a reliable number nine and have identified Watkins as the perfect target. Watkins currently has an Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) of €51.3m and his contract at Villa Park runs until 2028 after he signed an extension last year.
