Arsenal are reportedly eyeing the signing of Aston Villa star Jacob Ramsey after they failed to land his Villans team-mate Ollie Watkins in January, and they may decide not to go back for him.

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.

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.
