David Ornstein: Southampton and Crystal Palace closely monitoring £18m player in red-hot form
According to David Ornstein of The Athletic, Brentford forward Ollie Watkins is likely to be in-demand in the transfer market. The 24-year-old forward joined Brentford in 2017 and has established himself as a key player for the club, alongside Said Benrahma and Bryan Mbeumo. This season he has taken his game to a whole new level, becoming the joint leading scorer in the Championship with 23 goals. Premier League clubs have been alerted about the existence of a buy-out clause, and this would potentially make the prolific striker an appealing addition this summer. Watkins, who joined Brentford for £1.8 million from Exeter City in 2017, had a release clause of £10m in his previous deal. However, no suitors took the plunge to secure his signature. The exciting attacker had signed a n...
‘Rare quality’: Manager gives verdict on reported Celtic target he let go
Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe has told The Daily Echo that reported Celtic and Crystal Palace target Jordon Ibe can be a success at another club. Leaving Bournemouth Ibe left Bournemouth at the end of last month after his contract with the Premier League club ran out. The 24-year-old winger moved to the Cherries from Liverpool in the summer of 2016 for a transfer fee reported by The Daily Echo to be worth £15 million. Much was expected of the winger when he joined the Cherries, but the 24-year-old failed to progress and develop as much as he would have liked, and could not do much of note when he got his chances on the pitch. Howe has explained why Bournemouth did not make any effort to keep Ibe at the club, and he has said that he does have the qualities to succeed at another club. Celti...
