Ollie Watkins of Aston Villa is a player I like for Arsenal, he stated.”He has the necessary pace to be a striker, and it would be amazing to have a guy like Martin Odegaard behind him—just imagine all the assists.”

It’s so difficult to defend against players like Ollie Watkins because he’s so clever with his runs, with Odegaard they would do so much damage. He would be my choice if I were at Arsenal.

Meanwhile, Ollie Watkins scored the 90th-minute goal that sealed England’s semi-final victory, advancing the Three Lions to the final. Watkins may have another chance to show himself on Sunday when England faces Spain in Berlin in the Euro2024 final.
