Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins has come onto the radar of Turkish giants Fenerbahce, who are in next season’s Champions League.

Unai Emery is preparing Aston Villa for the Champions League next season, while also building a squad that can secure another top four finish.

Having finished as runners-up in the Turkish Super Lig last season, Fenerbahce have secured a spot in the Champions League qualifiers.

Watkins could be attracted to the idea of a move to Turkey, which would put him in contention to battle for the Turkish Super Lig title too.

With the 30-year-old entering the final two years of his contract and coming off a strong Premier League campaign, Aston Villa could look to cash in should the right offer arrive.

With the summer transfer window now open, Aston Villa will be looking to build on a successful campaign under Emery by adding quality players to their squad.
