Al-Hilal have sealed the signing of Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins.
Fabrizio Romano said on X that an agreement has been reached on all details. Aston Villa have accepted a final offer worth 58.4 million euros plus 2 million in add-ons, and have given the green light, with the striker due to travel to Saudi Arabia this week.
Al-Hilal had pursued Watkins in recent days as they sought a new striker to strengthen their attack.
The search has intensified amid ongoing uncertainty over Karim Benzema’s future, although the Frenchman has insisted he wants to stay.
The move comes during the ongoing summer transfer window.
