Ollie Watkins removes Villa from Instagram amid Al-Hilal talks | OneFootball

Ollie Watkins has fuelled fresh doubt over his Aston Villa future by removing the club from his Instagram profile as talks with Al-Hilal reach a decisive phase. According to Goal.com, negotiations are advancing over a potential move to the Roshn League.

Supporters quickly noticed the change and took it as a sign he could be on his way. Talk of a switch to the Roshn League has grown.

Al-Hilal are pushing to land the Aston Villa striker, who is their leading target to reinforce the attack. There is growing confidence that a final agreement with Villa can be reached.

The report adds that personal terms are already in place, with the fee between the clubs now the key hurdle. That remains the main sticking point.

Al-Hilal want a new centre forward and Watkins fits their profile. Uncertainty around Karim Benzema, who has been linked with an exit during the current window, only heightens that need.

Removing a club name from a social profile is not an official statement. Even so, the timing is striking, and a decision is expected in the coming hours.
