The Mirror says Newcastle are also in contact as they seek a new striker signing.

Arsenal failed with an offer for Watkins in January and have since switched their sights to Sporting CP centre-forward Viktor Gyokeres.

Watkins, 29, is ready to leave Villa Park this summer and Newcastle see him as a replacement for Callum Wilson, who has announced he is leaving as his contract expired last week.
