Liverpool’s New Manager Slot Eyes Villa’s Watkins as Nunez Replacement


Here Is The Easy Money-Making Trick Everyone Is Talking About! Learn More Here!

Reports suggest that Liverpool‘s new manager, Arne Slot, is keen on acquiring Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins, aiming to bolster their attacking options after Darwin Nunez failed to meet expectations.

Despite Nunez’s £85 million price tag, his goal-scoring output has not matched Liverpool’s hopes, raising speculation about Watkins as a potential replacement.

The 28-year-old enjoyed a prolific season, contributing 23 goals and 13 assists across all competitions, earning admiration from Slot.

However, Villa legend Gabby Agbonlahor remains unfazed by the rumors, citing Watkins’ reliability, outstanding injury record, and clinical finishing as reasons why Villa wouldn’t entertain offers, even upwards of £100 million.

Agbonlahor’s confidence in Villa’s stance stems from Watkins’ recent contract extension until 2028, signifying the club’s commitment to retaining him.

Despite acknowledging the allure of big offers, Agbonlahor believes Villa’s long-term project under Unai Emery’s leadership makes Watkins indispensable.
