Unai Emery has confirmed that Ollie Watkins is ready to describe the interest of Arsenal and stays in Aston Villa.
The International of England was the issue of an offer of £ 60 million of the gunners earlier this week, with the news that went around only hours before the 4-2 victory on Wednesday night over Celtic in the Champions League, a game in which Watkins scored and lost a penalty.
With Jhon they last on the edge of sealing a movement of £ 64 million to Al Nassr, the last thing Villa needs is that Watkins indicates that he also wants to leave. But Emery says that, after talking to him, the 29 -year -old is happy in Villa Park.
Emery said: “Yes, he is happy to stay. We ask him how he feels every day and is happy here.
“He appreciates a lot how Villa always supported him and helped him when we joined here two years ago how we were working with him and obtaining the best of him.
“Now we need it, as if Aston Villa needed in recent years. I am talking a lot to him, he is always adapting with all the circumstances we have and, of course, when some teams call us interested in the players, it is very good for us and the players.
“Some players prefer to leave and others agree to stay here and commit to our challenges. One of them is Ollie Watkins. “

Defensive concerns for Lobos Derby
After the euphoria of the middle of the week, Villa returns his attention to the Premier League Matters tomorrow with a local skirmish in Wolves.
They will make the short trip to Molineux without the defensive duo Tyrone Mings and Matty Cash.
Mings was injured against West Ham last weekend, while the cash lasted only 30 minutes of the Celtic game before intervening.
Emery said: “We will train this afternoon, but Matty Cash is not available, more or less, three or four weeks.
“Tyrone Mings is a small injury, not really bad, but I think he will need some more days to be ready to play.”
