Bayern Munich are interesting in signing Ollie Watkins in the summer, according to a report.
The forward has shone for Aston Villa since the arrival of Unai Emery and is one of the form players in the Premier League, helping his side to the verge of European qualification.
He has netted 11 times in his last 15 games for his side, who, after a poor start to the season under Steven Gerrard, are sixth in the Premier League with five games to play.
Bayern technical director Marco Neppe was reportedly at Villa Park on Tuesday to watch Watkins' side beat Fulham 1-0, and it has been suggested that he was there to watch the 27-year-old.
