Liverpool to tempt Ollie Watkins with big-money offer amid Aston Villa transfer news
Bryan King claims a big-money offer could tempt Aston Villa star Ollie Watkins to join Liverpool.
The ex-Villa scout is not sure a move to Anfield would suit the striker.
It comes after a report in The Sun (29 May) revealed that Liverpool are targeting Watkins as a potential replacement for Darwin Nunez following the arrival of Arne Slot.
And King - speaking exclusively to Villa News - believes money will be a big factor.
“He is now playing for a Champions League club,” King said.
“He is a big fish at Villa, I’m not so sure he would be a big fish at Liverpool.
“But if the money is right and the wages are right, things change pretty quickly in football.”
Would Ollie Watkins quit Aston Villa to join Liverpool?
A move to Liverpool would surely be hard for Watkins to turn down.
While Villa are more of an attractive proposition than they were a few years ago, Liverpool remains one of the biggest clubs in the world.
Making a move to Anfield is a dream for most players.
For Unai Emery and Villa, they must do everything in their power to keep hold of Watkins.
In other Aston Villa news, the club have been backed to sign a "perfect" Manchester City midfielder.
