Ollie Watkins seems to be among the striker targets for not only Manchester United but also Arsenal. At least the recent rumours say so. What are your thoughts on this?
He is 29 and still has 3 more years on his current contract. He is a decent striker, okay. But is he really that good? I don't think he is really the kind of CF these teams have been in search of.
They need to look for more productive forwards.

Watkins goal and assist contribution last season across all competitions is about thirty two (32) or thereabout and that stats is not too bad for a team like Manchester United that consist of average players who find it hard to locate the back of opponents net. Manchester United won't be participating in European competitions next season and I don't expect serious/productive strikers will be interested in signing a deal with them.
Arsenal on the other hand need to up their game in search of a striker to fully compete next season. I read they are pursuing to bring Chelsea Madueke to their squad and I wonder if Arterta knows what he really wants.
