Al-Hilal have sealed the signing of Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins.

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.
