Watkins has become a beloved figure at Villa Park, much like former player 加布里埃爾 Agbonlahor, whose Premier League scoring record for the club was eclipsed by Watkins in a memorable match against 伯恩茅斯 last May. The news of 阿斯頓維拉 potentially lining up Everton‘s Dominic Calvert-Lewin-who managed just three goals in the league during the 2024-25 season-as a successor has left Agbonlahor seething. This development comes amid Everton’s struggles, where Calvert-Lewin has shown flashes of brilliance but battled injuries, scoring only seven goals across all competitions in the prior year.
Agbonlahor’s Fiery Comments on Potential Swap
In a candid interview on talkSPORT, the 38-year-old ex-striker expressed his disbelief and frustration: “Stop spreading falsehoods. Don’t even think about it. Who came up with this idea? You believe you can snatch Watkins and hand us Calvert-Lewin instead? Absolutely not-I’d relocate abroad. The thought of Manchester United, specifically, poaching Ollie Watkins would devastate me.”
