Former Arsenal defender William Gallas believes Arsenal should move for Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins this summer.
Watkins is currently on England duty at Euro 2024, and his impressive domestic form has attracted attention for much of the previous campaign.
Arsenal are believed to want another striker to play with or instead of Gabriel Jesus, with one name in the frame, Ivan Toney of Brentford.
Speaking to Gambling Zone , Gallas suggested that Watkins could be the ideal man.
He said: “I know Arsenal want a striker and they definitely need one as they need something different to Gabriel Jesus.
“I like Ollie Watkins from Aston Villa. I think would be a good profile for Arsenal, he can stretch defences and offer something different to Gabriel Jesus. I liked the way he performed when he came on for England against Denmark in their last game.
‘He’s the kind of player you would want to play up front with someone else. He’s quick, intelligent and a player like him would be good for Arsenal, especially if he plays with someone who can link with him up front.
“Gabriel Jesus was injured last season but you need a striker who can score you 20 plus goals, Watkins did and he might be the player that sees Arsenal over the line for the title next season.”
