COMMENT: Arsenal should turn their attention to a former target in the final four days of the transfer window.

Arsenal are expected to launch a second bid for Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins, though numerous sources agree it WON'T be accepted, with The Gunners already opening talks to sign one of three possible alternatives.

Ollie Watkins is ‘open’ to joining Arsenal before the transfer deadline if Aston Villa back down and agree a deal with the Gunners. The future of England striker Watkins looks set to be one of the biggest talking points in the final few days of the transfer window after he was the subject of a big-money offer from Arsenal.

Arsenal have turned their attention to Ollie Watkins as they try and secure January reinforcements for Mikel Arteta's attack. Villa have rejected a bid from the Gunners for their striker with the end of the winter transfer window looming less than a week away.

Marrying his attacking and creative attributes together, Watkins’ off-ball running is also a key part of his wider contribution to his team going forward. Across the Premier League, he is one of the men most likely to stretch the opposition’s defensive line with his intelligent movement.

Arsenal have been charged by the Football Association for surrounding referee Michael Oliver in the win over Wolves. It came in the aftermath of Myles Lewis-Skelly receiving a red card in the clash, which was eventually overturned. Arsenal have a few days to give a response to the charge before an independent commission reviews the situation.
