Keane: Villa striker Watkins destined for big move

Former Aston Villa assistant manager Roy Keane admits he's a big fan of Ollie Watkins.

Keane can see the striker moving to a bigger club.

"He could play for one of the top teams," Keane told Sky Sports.

"Villa are a top team but you're talking about bigger clubs in Manchester United, Liverpool, Manchester City. That's a compliment to him, not that he has to leave Villa. But he's capable of doing it.

"The kid is so sharp, he has a great shape to him. His movement is as good as any striker in the Premier League. He's having an amazing season."
