Aston Villa is flying high — and a big reason is Ollie Watkins.

The English striker has taken his game to a new level this season under Unai Emery. Whether running behind defenders, pressing from the front, or finishing with either foot, Watkins is doing it all with confidence.

He’s become one of the most consistent forwards in the league, earning praise from pundits and fans alike. His hat-trick against Brighton showed just how clinical and intelligent he has become in the box.

Watkins isn’t just about goals — his off-ball movement creates space for teammates, and he’s become a real leader on the pitch.

With Villa pushing for a European spot, Watkins might just be the name that defines their new ambition.
