Ollie Watkins emerged as a late transfer window target for Arsenal, who have been relying on the goals and continued presence of Kai Havertz.

However, it sounds as though the Watkins trail has gone cold, and according to John Townley, speaking on the Claret and Blue Podcast, the Aston Villa star won’t be going anywhere on deadline day. Townley shared what he knows about Watkins amid murmurs that he could still be on the move.

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.
