Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins has been linked to Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal, with many fans questioning if the move could negatively impact his performance. Saudi football expert Mohamed Qutob revealed to Radio WM that Al-Hilal is seeking a replacement for their star player, Karim Benzema, who has disappointed them. Qutob stated that Watkins is at the top of their list, and if the Saudis are truly interested, they may not have much difficulty in securing his signature.
Watkins' financial incentive would be substantial, with Qutob estimating a minimum annual salary of £20 million, which would be tax-free.

This move could provide Watkins with an opportunity to showcase his skills and instincts in a top-tier league, potentially bolstering Aston Villa's midfield.
