Ollie Watkins is now widely considered to be among the Premier League’s elite players.
The England international’s performance for Aston Villa this season has been outstanding. He has an impressive assist total and can’t stop scoring.
Though he might have joined Tottenham in a different universe, Watkins’ 2020 £28 million transfer to Aston Villa is widely regarded as one of the finest acquisitions in Premier League history.
On the Gold and Guest Talk Tottenham Podcast, which airs before this weekend’s match between Villa and Spurs, Alasdair Gold revealed how near Tottenham were to signing Ollie Watkins as a striker a few years ago. However, Spurs were turned off by his high transfer fee and inexperience.
Gold revealed his knowledge of the Aston Villa forward.
When they face that striker on Sunday, it will be with the most absurd statistics imaginable. Ollie Watkins has been absolutely incredible with 21 goals and 12 assists. Gold recalled a time when Spurs were also interested in him, but they were turned off by his high price tag due to his lack of experience and proven track record.
In order for it to be most effective
Watkins probably came out ahead when he didn’t get the transfer to Tottenham.
Even though he may not have had the same kind of success with Spurs, the striker has come a long way since signing with Aston Villa.
Actually, he would have spent three years on the bench or on the wing behind England captain Harry Kane if he had signed with Tottenham in 2020.
Now that he’s at Villa, he can play as a number nine, and the club is even ahead of Tottenham in the league.
Although Spurs seemed like the more attractive club at the moment, Watkins ultimately made the right choice by joining Villa.
