Aston Villa ‘ready to launch stunning £50m transfer bid to beat Man Utd, Arsenal and Chelsea to Jhon Duran replacement’ ASTON VILLA are reportedly ready to launch a £50million bid for Premier League target Mathys Tel.
But with Duran heading to Saudi Arabia, Villa are determined to keep hold of Watkins if Arsenal return with a second bid.
News of the Gunners’ bid filtered through just hours before Watkins started in Villa’s 4-2 Champions League win over Celtic.
But Villa could jump to the head of the queue by launching a £50m bid for Tel before the weekend.
He still runs the risk of seeing star man Ollie Watkins go to Arsenal, who have already had a £60m rejected.
