English striker Ollie Watkins leaves Aston Villa to transfer to Al Hilal, a club in Saudi Arabia. The transfer involves a fee of around 60 million euros, making it one of the most significant moves in the transfer market.
Watkins was one of Aston Villa's key players, having been crucial to the team over the past few years. His departure represents a significant loss for the English club, which sees one of its top scorers leave for Saudi football.
Al Hilal, one of the most powerful clubs in the Saudi league, continues to invest in top European players. Watkins' arrival joins a series of major signings the club has made to strengthen its squad.
This transfer comes at a time when several European players have been choosing to move to Saudi Arabia, attracted by the high salaries offered by clubs in the region. Watkins thus becomes another high-profile name joining the Saudi league.
