Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins continues to attract interest, particularly from Arsenal.
It's uncertain whether a return to London would be a favorable move for the 27-year-old, and much hinges on the Villains' perspective.
Unai Emery would be reluctant to part ways with the striker, given his impressive record of 42 goals during his time at Villa, especially to a direct competitor like the Gunners.
Before any potential transfer could materialize, there's a considerable amount of negotiation and deliberation involved.
However, speaking about the situation, Fabrizio Romano, in his exclusive Daily Briefing column, has outlined the initial steps in this process.
"Aston Villa want to offer Ollie Watkins a new deal and the player will listen to their proposal before anything else happens,’ he wrote.
"That’s the first step for sure, and then we will see where they will go from there."
