Aston Villa forward Ollie Watkins claims he feels no extra pressure due to the departure of Danny Ings.

Many Villa fans are wondering if Watkins can shoulder the goalscoring burden until the end of the season.

Ings has been sold to West Ham United, with Watkins and Jhon Duran as the only strikers at the club.

“I loved playing with Ingsy and I thought we played well together," he said to Express and Star.

“It's a shame to see him go because he is such a great lad and a great player.

“I don't feel any more responsibility. As a striker, there is one thing you need to do and that's score goals, whatever level you're at. I know I can do that."
