Not all managers like their star players to be driven by personal ambition but Aston Villa’s Unai Emery embraces it in the case of Ollie Watkins.
Watkins, whose brace on Saturday took him to 18 Premier League goals for the season, is aiming for the Golden Boot and a summer at the Euros with England.
Emery feels that desire will help Villa in their top-four tussle with Tottenham.
‘Ollie is very involved in the new demands we have as a club and I have as a coach,’ said the Spaniard.
