Ollie Watkins on the Red Radar…
Picture this, folks! Ollie Watkins, the dazzling goal-poacher currently stuck like glue up front for Aston Villa, is knocking on the door of Manchester United. Yes, the house of red devils is looking for a shiny, new No.9 to bolster their attacking line-up, and surprise-surprise, Ollie, everyone’s favorite 18-time England cap magician, might just be ready for new pastures. A princely sum of £69 gazillion or something might even be dancing in the wind!
Ollie, at the ripe old age of 29, finds himself in curious waters. It’s like being an apple in the fruit basket but never in the front row. He’s been doing ninja-like splits, scoring 87 screamers and serving 42 generous assists at Villa, yet he’s the runaway bride longing for adventure! Was it the swashbuckling Marcus Rashford or an electric switcheroo with Jhon Duran that had Ollie fuming and tossing his shin pads out of the cot during the Champions League tiki-taka in April?
Amidst this circus, Villa are tiptoeing towards Samu Aghehowa, the Porto goal-hero who could score from a nosebleed section! If that deal sees sunshine, Ollie could be gliding on a rainbow straight to Old Trafford faster than you can say “transfer shenanigans!” Porto’s Aghehowa might be worth more gold coins than there are stars in the sky, but it’s Ollie who could end up being the Red Devils’ lost, but not forgotten, knight in shining boots.
