Report: Southampton and Crystal Palace closely monitoring Ollie Watkins

According to David Ornstein of The Athletic, Brentford forward Ollie Watkins is likely to be in-demand in the transfer market.

The 24-year-old forward joined Brentford in 2017 and has established himself as a key player for the club, alongside Said Benrahma and Bryan Mbeumo.

This season he has taken his game to a whole new level, becoming the joint leading scorer in the Championship with 23 goals.

Premier League clubs have been alerted to the existence of a buy-out clause, and this would potentially make the prolific striker an appealing addition this summer.
