Former Aston Villa winger Steve Froggatt, speaking to BBC Radio WM about Ollie Watkins’ desire to leave the club: “The supporters are the most important people at the football club. Ollie is the greatest goalscorer at the club and he should walk away in to the sunset with the thanks of everyone at Villa Park. He has tarnished that.
“The Saudi Arabia thing, I’m not having it. You’re only going for the money and that changes my opinion on players. I can’t get my head around it. If he was going to an Inter Milan, Bayern Munich or Barcelona, I get that from a footballing perspective.
