Sheffield Utd to bid for Brentford striker Ollie Watkins

Sheffield United are eyeing Brentford striker Ollie Watkins.

Chris Wilder and his team are looking for another striker, even though they bought Oli McBurnie and Callum Robinson in the summer.

Brentford forward Watkins has been tracked since the start of a campaign in which he has become one of the Championship's top scorers, says The Sun.

United have fancied Watkins for years as he can play anywhere across the front line.

And his run of scoring in a new central role confirmed their belief in him.

Crystal Palace wanted Watkins in the last window but he was priced too high for their liking.
