Watkins Leaves Villa for Saudi | Belfast News

Ollie Watkins is leaving Aston Villa for Al Hilal in a £50 million deal, marking the end of a stellar stint as their top Premier League scorer and Europa League hero — even prompting emotional farewells from manager Unai Emery. Despite refusing to play in their final game (which angered fans), Watkins has apologized, and Emery stands by him, praising his character and legacy. In his place, Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea is set to arrive quickly to face Arsenal. Meanwhile, Emiliano Martinez is rumored to join Chelsea, Tammy Abraham heads to Ipswich on loan, and new signing Leon Goretzka is already ready for the Arsenal clash — signaling a major squad overhaul at Villa Park.
