The latest Arsenal transfer news as Aston Villa's reported financial concerns could open the door to sign England striker Ollie Watkins.
Watkins says that Van Dijk and Konate are world-class defenders, and he’s not wrong. Indeed, Liverpool have the second-best defensive record in the Premier League for good reason. Interestingly though, Watkins has a really good record against Van Dijk as a player.

Arsenal could go back in for Ollie Watkins this summer after failing with a bid in the January transfer window.
Unai Emery has shared an update on the fitness of Ollie Watkins ahead of Aston Villa ’s Premier League clash with Ipswich Town on Saturday. And the Villa manager has also suggested that Axel Disasi could make his debut for the club following his deadline day loan move from Chelsea.
However, Villa no longer have Jhon Duran to rely upon from the bench, and Watkins could be rushed back for that reason. Their new recruit Donyell Malen (£5.5m) played up front against West Ham, while Marcus Rashford (£6.6m) could be a decent attacking option too.
