Brentford attacker Ollie Watkins is attracting Premier League interest.

ESPN says Watford and Bournemouth are interested in the eight goal man, who has made the step up to the Championship this season after originally plying his trade at Exeter.

The Hornets appointed Bees' head of recruitment Andy Scott to their back-room team last month and he played a key role in the signing of Watkins.

However, the Bees do not need to sell their stars in January, after bringing in £12million from relegation battlers Birmingham in August for Harlee Dean, Maxime Colin and Jota.
