Watkins attracting offers as Villa continue reset under Emery

Aston Villa manager Unai Emery revealed on Friday that the club is receiving offers for England forward Ollie Watkins, potentially making him the latest high-profile departure. Recent exits from Villa include Youri Tielemans to Manchester United, Morgan Rogers to Chelsea, as well as Jadon Sancho, Douglas Luiz, and Lucas Digne. Emery expressed his desire to retain Watkins, stating he doesn't want to sell him but could consider it if the right offer arises and he can replace the player in the squad.

Emery also addressed the uncertainty surrounding goalkeeper Emi Martinez, who may leave Villa Park, while highlighting the club's recent signings of goalkeeper Zion Suzuki, winger Alejandro Garnacho on loan from Chelsea, central midfielder Joao Gomes from Wolverhampton Wanderers, attacking midfielder Johan Manzambi from Freiburg, and right back Aaron Wan-Bissaka on loan from West Ham United.
