Liverpool plot summer move for Ollie Watkins

Liverpool are weighing up a summer move for Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins, according to Football Insider.

The 25-year-old joined the Villans from Brentford last summer and has since gone on to score 14 goals in 33 matches.

The aforementioned report suggests Liverpool have set their sights on a new striker with the struggles of Roberto Firmino.

The Reds boss Jurgen Klopp reportedly wants to strengthen the frontline with a marksman with Premier League experience and Watkins fits the bill, but it remains unclear whether Aston Villa will entertain the prospect of selling him.

The Midlands outfit bought Watkins for a club-record £28m fee, and the club may not be tempted to sell unless a significant bid is made.
