English forward Ollie Watkins, currently playing for Aston Villa, is no longer on Arsenal's radar. Despite serious interest from the London club during the last winter transfer window to bring in the 29-year-old striker, Mikel Arteta has decided to take a different direction in the team's offensive planning.

According to information from Sky Sports, the Spanish coach has shifted priorities for the upcoming transfer periods. Watkins, who had been delivering strong performances with the Birmingham team, was once a favorite to bolster the Gunners' frontline. However, the Emirates Stadium environment believes that the player's profile no longer completely fits with the new sporting approach being outlined.

Arteta's Plans Have Changed

Arteta is seeking a different type of striker, possibly with more versatility or potential, leading the club to explore other options both in the Premier League and internationally. Consequently, Watkins' name loses momentum and falls into the background on the list of candidates.

The decision reflects Arsenal's intention to fine-tune the squad with very specific additions, aligning with the playing style the Basque coach aims to establish. Therefore, while Ollie Watkins will remain a key player for Aston Villa, his future does not lie in North London. Arteta already has other names in mind to strengthen his attack.
