Watkins pledges commitment to Aston Villa

Ollie Watkins has pledged his commitment to Aston Villa.

After reaching 50 Premier League goals for Villa, Watkins has his eyes on Gabby Agbonlahor's club record of 74.

"Yeah, definitely," he told Villa's website.

“When I signed my new contract, that was one of my main goals – to break that, to win something with the club, to push on and try to achieve something.

“I feel like I'm improving as a player under this manager and with this team.

“Obviously I'm getting older but I feel like my game is maturing, I've got a better understanding and I'm being more clinical.

“So, I've got a lot of targets I want to reach and Gabby's record is one of them."
