Arsenal are reportedly eyeing the signing of Aston Villa star Jacob Ramsey after they failed to land his Villans team-mate Ollie Watkins in January, and they may decide not to go back for him.

The Gunners were keen to bolster their attacking options during the January transfer window, given the long term injuries to Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus.

Ollie Watkins emerged as a late transfer window target for Arsenal, who have been relying on the goals and continued presence of Kai Havertz.

Ollie Watkins would be open to joining Arsenal this month but Aston Villa are determined to keep the England international.

Gabriel Jesus is putting the work in to overcome his knee injury that will see him miss the remainder of the season for Arsenal. He needed surgery after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament blow and is now on the road to recovery.
