Everton interested in Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins | OneFootball

Everton are interested in Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins.

Football Insider says the 26-year-old has a strained relationship with manager Steven Gerrard and could leave Villa in the coming days.

Everton boss Frank Lampard is targeting the England international as he needs a replacement for Tottenham's summer signing Richarlison.

The Toffees are ready to test Villa's resolve with an opening offer.

Watkins scored eleven goals and produced two assists in 35 games in the Premier League last season.
