Ollie Watkins, born on 30 December 1995 (age 30), is an English striker for Aston Villa, where he wears the number 11 shirt. His current market value is around £25.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
Watkins’ most productive league season came at Brentford in 2019-2020, when he scored 25 goals in 46 appearances. That campaign did the obvious work for his reputation: a forward capable of carrying volume, not just producing the odd tidy finish.
At Aston Villa, he has remained a regular first-team presence rather than drifting into the useful-but-rotated category. In 2025-2026, he has made 37 Premier League appearances and scored 16 goals, with another five goals from 15 Europa League appearances. Across all competitions for Villa this season, he has 21 goals in 55 games.
He has also featured for England this season, making one World Cup qualifying appearance. His career to this point has been built on steady top-flight relevance after a high-scoring spell at Brentford, with Villa still relying on him as a central part of their attack.
