Breaking News: “Chelsea’s star pleaded with Aston Villa’s sensational talent to join Chelsea instead of a rival club. He said, ‘I asked him to join, but he told me he would only do so under one condition.'”
“I asked him to join, but he told me only on one condition.” Chelsea’s star urged Aston Villa’s sensational talent to choose Chelsea over a rival club.
Chelsea are reportedly less focused on securing Napoli’s striker, Victor Osimhen, as PSG intensifies their pursuit. Should this deal fall through, Chelsea might turn their attention to Aston Villa’s striker.
Enzo Maresca might plan to sign the Aston Villa forward since the deal for Victor Osimhen remains unresolved and PSG appears to be taking the lead.
Unai Emery values Ollie Watkins at £100 million, a fee Chelsea would need to meet before making an offer, while Arsenal also shows interest in the player.
Watkins’ 19 goals and 13 assists in the Premier League last season were crucial for Unai Emery’s side, helping them secure their first Champions League spot since 1983.
His value has surged to €100 million (£85.7 million) following his impressive performance in England’s Euro 2024 campaign, where his 90th-minute winner against the Netherlands in the semi-finals aided the Three Lions in reaching back-to-back Euro finals under Gareth Southgate.
According to reports, Chelsea star Cole Palmer has been in talks with Aston Villa star Ollie Watkins to join the Blues, but Watkins declined.
The Englishman informed Cole Palmer that he is an Arsenal fan, with his uncle and most of his family supporting the Gunners.
Both players spent the past month in Germany representing England and have developed a strong friendship and on-field rapport.
Watkins mentioned that his family’s disappointment with his performance in a 2-0 win against Arsenal reflects their deep-rooted support for the club.
This indicates that Chelsea may miss out on the deal as Watkins has shown no intention of moving to West London, expressing contentment with his current team despite his family’s Arsenal allegiance since childhood.
However, if Watkins ultimately agrees to join the West Londoners, Chelsea’s forward line under Enzo Maresca could receive a significant boost, preparing them to face next season with increased confidence.
