Former Villa striker Andy Gray believes Ollie Watkins will only continue to get better with age, writes Jude Aston.
Watkins returned to Villa this week after netting the winner against Australia while on international duty with England.
“The little kid has just equalled my record recently – the last Villa player to score two hat-tricks in a season was yours truly, and he has a whole season to get another one,” said Gray on his visit to the Cleveland Arms in Wolverhampton earlier this month. “Ollie gets lots of chances,” said Gray. “He doesn’t take a huge percentage of his chances, but that will improve with experience and age, but he has got better each season at Villa.”
The former Scotland international was taking a break from hosting duties at Bein Sports in Qatar to speak with former Villa team-mate Andy Blair and reminisce on his career.
