EPL: Arteta warns Arsenal players over one Aston Villa player

Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has warned his players to be wary of Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins ahead of their Premier League clash on Saturday.

Watkins has been in fine form for the Midlands club amid their fine start to the campaign.

The England striker has scored eight times this season as Villa sit in third place.

“He (Watkins) has been tremendously consistent over the last few years and he is a real threat,” Arteta told the media on Friday.

Arteta also reserved praise for Villa boss Unai Emery, who also hails from the Basque country in Spain’s North West.

“He is the most experienced and the most successful one by quite some distance for everything that he has achieved in the game and for what he has won, so he is obviously someone that I admire,” he added.
