Watkins, 29, has been one of the best strikers in the Premier League over the past few seasons, scoring 16 goals in 38 league games in 2024-25.

Aghehowa, 21, who only joined Porto last summer, could now be set to leave the club, according to Portuguese outlet A Bola.

The report says that Porto are open to selling the Spaniard for the right price, valuing him at around €80m with the starting point of any negotiation will be at €70m.

Villa are one of several Premier League clubs said to be interested in the striker who score 27 goals in 45 games last season.
