Aston Villa striker Watkins sets goals target for next season

Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins has set himself a goals target for next season.

Watkins, 26, has scored 11 goals in 34 gams this term.

He said: "I know I can reach about 20 goals in this league, and hopefully I can reach that next year.

"Scoring that amount of goals gets you up in another category, and then you can be considered one of the 'killers' in front of goal.

"People always talk about Harry Kane - he is a really good finisher and that is why his goal record is so good. There are many players over the years who have been like that and that is also how I will be remembered."
