Chelsea striker eyed by Aston Villa as potential Ollie Watkins replacement

Chelsea striker eyed by Aston Villa as potential Ollie Watkins replacement

 

The young Chelsea striker eyed by Aston Villa has been in blistering form since he left the club in January.

With Watkins subject to transfer interest from big sides in the summer, Villa are already eyeing replacements for the Englishman.

Ollie Watkins has continued his brilliant form for Aston Villa this season. He has netted 22 goals and recorded 10 assists across all competitions this campaign.

His insane numbers and performances have led to interest from a number of sides including Arsenal who have been tipped to sign a striker in the summer.

Aston Villa have already started eyeing replacements for Watkins should he get a deserved move soon.

Fofana eyed by Aston Villa

David Datro Fofana is the young Chelsea striker eyed by Aston Villa for a potential summer move.

He made it four goals and one assist in eight appearances since joining Burnley in January.

His stamina, willingness to chase down defenders, fight for lost causes and take chances appeals to the Villa board.

He has struggled to nail down a starting, or even a bench role for Chelsea since his £12 move from Molde just over a year ago.

Chelsea have continuously been linked with a move for big name strikers in the summer. With Nicholas Jackson not leaving any time soon, it’s hard to see a place for Fofana at Chelsea.

Should the Ivorian help Burnley take their slim survival chances by scoring more goals, he will be happy to know he already has admirers.
