Watkins enjoyed three consistent seasons at Villa before taking his game to a new level last term, scoring 27 goals in all competitions to help Unai Emery’s side qualify for the Champions League.
Gareth Southgate included Watkins in England’s squad for Euro 2024 following the striker’s impressive performances and while he hardly featured out in Germany due to the presence of all-time record goalscorer Harry Kane, he did come off the bench to score a famous winner in the semi-final win over the Netherlands.
