Mirror claims that Bayern Munich are thinking of signing Ollie Watkins in case of not being able to convince Harry Kane to sign for them in the summer. However it doesn't seem very realistic to me honestly. Because Watkins is surely a skilled centre-forward but I believe that there is a huge difference between him and Kane now. Kane is literally one of the best strikers in the world currently.

We haven't even seen Watkins playing for one of top European teams yet. I think that it would be a big risk to take for Bayern Munich if this rumour turns out to be true. They have already been continuing with Choupo-Moting and they shouldn't take another risk again. Maybe there is no guarantee about Kane to play superbly there also. But at least he is more convincing to do well compared to Watkins. Besides it would be the best for Bayern Munich to sign a striker whose characteristics are similar to Lewandowski - Kane looks like the best alternative for now.

Ollie Watkins is one underrated young player who is capable of leading the next generation attack for Bayern Munich after Lewandowski's departure. He is fast and capable of scoring many goals but it will be a risk because he is still young and lack that much experience to play for a top club. Nevertheless I would opt to take the risk if I were the manager for Bayern Munich, it might turn out to be a good move after all, who knows  Smiley
Ollie Watkins currently 27 years old so i don't think he will be categorized as young player anymore and indeed with Aston Villa he was reach to his top performance and the records 11 goals from 14 latest matches with Aston Villa makes Tuchel interested to bought him just in case if Bayern failed to gets Kane from Tottenham and besides that i am sure Watkins price cheaper than Kane price so he could be good alternative player for Tuchel

I think Aston Villa will don't mind if Bayern really want to buy him because the money from the sale of Watkins can be used to buy other players and Aston Villa really required more players for next season especially Aston Villa will playing at european competitions and indeed i have seen Watkins records that he has stable performance even while still at Brentford Watkins can able to scores more than 10 goals for each seasons but indeed because he was came from small teams it makes people didn't recognized his talent
