Aston Villa ace Ollie Watkins hires personal striker coach | OneFootball

Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins has hired a personal goalscoring coach this summer.

The Birmingham Live says Watkins is targeting another double-figure goals return for the third-successive season at Aston Villa as they get set for the 2022/23 campaign.

The striker, who missed out on last month's England squad, is more determined than ever to improve on his previous Premier League season totals (11 and 14).

The 26-year-old did attract strong transfer interest from West Ham a few months ago with Villa informing the London club that their striker was simply not for sale. Watkins has since spent his summer with trips to Greece and Ibiza.

The former Brentford ace has, however, checked back in at Bodymoor Heath early and has employed the services of well-regarded striker coach Scott Chickelday.
