Multiple reports claim that Arsenal's original bid for Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins was considerably lower than the initial £60m figure put forward.

Arsenal are expected to launch a second bid for Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins, though numerous sources agree it WON'T be accepted, with The Gunners already opening talks to sign one of three possible alternatives.

Arsenal have had a £60million bid for Ollie Watkins rejected by Aston Villa and Gunners legend Martin Keown believes there is no chance the Villans will let the striker leave

Aston Villa were ‘furious’ with the Arsenal approach, and it was a bit of a d*ck move. Not because they’ve made a bid for Watkins, who didn’t magically turn up at Villa after all, but because making the bid so close to arguably Villa’s biggest game of the season is hardly going to ease negotiations.

THE January transfer window is heating up with some MAJOR moves in the pipeline as Deadline Day quickly approaches. Arsenal are reportedly readying their second bid for Aston Villa’s England

Arsenal have been given a boost in their bid to sign Dusan Vlahovic while one of four further alternatives to Ollie Watkins is ‘very open’ to a move to the Emirates this month.

Ollie Watkins may be facing a now-or-never dilemma regarding a potential move to Arsenal. The Gunners reportedly approached Aston Villa about their striker on Monday, only to be swiftly rebuffed.

The biggest target elsewhere is Mathys Tel, who appeared to bid goodbye to Bayern Munich fans on teh pitch last night and is the subject of a bidding war involving Manchester United, Tottenham, Chelsea and, potentially Arsenal. Spurs have also been linked with Yoane Wissa, Noah Okafor, Tyler Dibling and Angel Gomes.
