Ollie signed a five-year contract in 2020 after moving from Brentford to Aston Villa.

The former Brentford striker has blossomed in his time in the Midlands, especially since manager Unai Emery arrived at the club.

Playing as a sole striker in the team, his performances has seen him make five appearances in Gareth Southgate‘s England squads.

When speaking about Ollie, Unai said: “The striker is very important to me. I spoke with [Ollie] at the beginning about the relationship here. 

“I told him that I want the best of you and the way he is doing; practising, being humble to improve. This is the way.

“Then, he has a big career to do in his future. It’s very important as well to try and speak about other players because he is not going to score if his team-mates aren’t helping him to do it.

“For us, Ollie Watkins is very important. He’s not only scoring but his commitment every day, trying to add more work, watching his clips.”

The striker’s contract, which expires in June 2025, saw his weekly wage set at £75k per week.

Following Ollie scoring his 75th Premier League goal for Aston Villa on May 10, 2025, the team will likely be keen to keep him on the team- especially with some of the biggest clubs in Europe taking interest.
