Several summer departures will likely take place, with Emiliano Martinez reportedly keen on a move to Manchester United, while Jacob Ramsey is attracting interest from Nottingham Forest. But, with their PSR concerns now a thing of the past, plenty of new signings could also arrive through the door soon.

Watkins is believed to be valued at around £60 million by Villa, who received a loose offer of approximately £40 million from Arsenal back in January. The two clubs’ valuations were so far apart that no concrete discussions really took place, but Watkins remains on Arsenal’s radar.
