Darragh MacAnthony comments on Aston Villa newboy Ollie Watkins
Peterborough United owner Darragh MacAnthony has suggested on Twitter that Ollie Watkins could prove to be a bargain signing for Aston Villa.
Villa have signed Watkins from Championship club Brentford in the summer transfer window.
According to BBC Sport, the Villans have paid the Bees an initial transfer fee of £28 million, and that it could reach £33 million.
Peterborough chairman MacAnthony has raved about Watkins, who can play as a forward or as an attacking midfielder, and he believes that the 24-year-old coud prove to be a bargain for the Villans.
even you have to agree the fee is a tad ridiculous though
