Liverpool’s difficulties in scoring have been widely reported, and with their current forwards struggling to find the net consistently, a summer transfer appears likely. One potential target is Ollie Watkins, Aston Villa’s 28-year-old striker, who has been impressively performing in the Premier League this season.
Watkins’ impressive tally of 23 goals and 13 assists in all competitions highlights his capabilities. As a clinical finisher who excels at creating chances, he fits Liverpool’s needs perfectly. Additionally, the new manager at Anfield may facilitate a potential transfer overhaul.
At $65 million, Watkins is a significant investment, but his age, skill, and Premier League experience make him a worthwhile asset.
Although Watkins has previously stated his dream of playing for Arsenal, the appeal of Liverpool and Champions League football might prove too tempting to turn down.
Only time will reveal if Watkins joins Anfield, but it’s clear he could be the missing piece in Liverpool’s attacking setup.
