Arsenal's late interest in signing Ollie Watkins looks likely to be one of the main stories on transfer deadline day. The Gunners reportedly launched a bid in the final days of January, which was promptly rejected by Aston Villa,

Villa have already raked in a hefty £64 million transfer fee when they sanctioned Jhon Duran's sale to Al Nassr, so a cash influx at this stage is insufficient to justify a sale for Watkins. Romano also noted exclusively to GIVEMESPORT that Unai Emery was "pushing internally" to avoid parting ways with his man this window.
