Qwiss just gotta pay him. We have so much headroom.

Mirth 👀 Sell him to Saudi in 2026 👀

Mirth his contract is till 2027

What? Fuuuucking hell.

HomeSteak We bid for him last week, there was no news, today when the Saudis were pushing for Boniface and not Duran this comes out...so I do hope it's Villa trying to put some pressure on them. They will sell Duran and keep Watkins and save us.

If the Saudis were no longer pushing for Duran, how would Villa leaking Arsenal interest in Watkins relate to that?

Watkin doesn’t make my balls tingle.

Would do well here no doubt but he’s not someone I’d be confident could make the difference in the biggest matches.

Also feels a few years too late. Perhaps a bit desperate with thinking not being overly rational

    Thank god. That should be that then assuming this is accurate.

    Guess he'll now become the superstar everyone thought he would...🙄

    We are approaching the Dominic Calvin Lewin or bust hours

    Emery sounds like he's urging Arsenal to bid higher for Watkins.

    yeah doesn't exactly sound like a closed door

      Hopefully we can get it done before the weekend.

      Gazza M we’re doubling down on bore bore bore then cross it in and hope someone gets a head on it tactic. #midblockbuster

        This could be a smokescreen too. Something is fishy about it. The timing of it is off unless we're actually inept at transfers. Why wait so long to make a bid and why today when Duran is known to be leaving. Something doesn't add up.

        Could be we know it was going to be rejected and we're bluffing to get another target? Try to force another club or player's hand? This is such an odd bid and rumor.

          Ollie Watkins is not a 60 million pound player also
