Unai Emery is determined to keep Ollie Watkins at Aston Villa this month as the club prepare to sell Jhon Duran.
Villa’s 4-2 win over Celtic sent them into the last 16 of the Champions League but the day was clouded by uncertainty over the futures of the club’s two forwards.
Emery confirmed Duran is likely to move to Al Nassr for about £63million and is set to have a medical in London on Thursday.
But Villa were blindsided by a bid from Arsenal for Watkins hours before kick-off.
