Watkins and Martinez could join Villa exodus says Emery
Unai Emery said Villa have offers for Watkins and that Martínez wants a fresh challenge as the club signs Zion Suzuki for cover.
- On Friday, Aston Villa manager Unai Emery confirmed England striker Ollie Watkins could leave the club this summer after rejecting multiple bids from Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal.
- This follows significant squad turnover at Villa Park, where players including Youri Tielemans, Morgan Rogers, and Lucas Digne have already exited the club this off-season.
- Emery also revealed Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez has requested a transfer, prompting the club to sign Japan goalkeeper Zion Suzuki as his replacement.
- With only 10 days remaining in the transfer window, it remains uncertain whether Watkins will feature in Sunday's Premier League opener against Brighton at the Amex Stadium.
- Despite the departures, Emery insisted Villa has conducted an "intelligent market," recruiting Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Alejandro Garnacho alongside goalkeeper Zion Suzuki to strengthen the squad.
