Ollie Watkins Odds: Aston Villa striker 6/1 to finish Top Goalscorer & 20/1 for PFA Player of the Year

Following a sublime goal in Aston Villa's impressive 2-0 win at Arsenal, Ollie Watkins is in contention for a number of individual accolades as the end of this enthralling Premier League campaign draws near.

The England striker's delicate chip over David Raya in the Arsenal goal took his Premier League tally to 19 for the season, just one behind top marksman Erling Haaland.

Ex-Brentford hitman Watkins is also in the race to finish this Premier League campaign with the most assists, with the in-form striker currently level at the top of this leaderboard on 10 alongside Brighton's Pascal Gross and Newcastle's Kieran Trippier.

We take a look at Watkins' latest odds in the Premier League Top Goalscorer, Most Assists and PFA Player of the Year markets...

Ollie Watkins Top Goalscorer Odds

Latest Odds - 6/1

Ollie Watkins' 19th Premier League goal of the season against Arsenal sees him trail Manchester City's Erling Haaland at the top of the pile by just one goal, with the Norwegian sensation odds-on at 1/3 to retain the Golden Boot.

28-year-old Watkins has already surpassed his best ever Premier League goals tally of 15 registered last season, with Villa manager Unai Emery helping take the Englishman's game to a new level.

A complete forward, Watkins previously spent a lot of time running the channels and picking up the ball in wide positions, but since Emery arrived in the Midlands in October 2022 the England international has been instructed to stay central and do more of his work between the goalposts.

His goalscoring output has in turn improved, with Watkins developing into a talismanic figure at Villa Park under the tutelage of Basque boss Emery.

Ollie Watkins Most Assists Odds

Latest Odds - 7/1

Although instructed to stay central and provide a focal point for the team up front, Watkins remains a creative asset in this Villa side and is currently joint-top of the Premier League's assists standings with 10 to his name.

The former Exeter City striker is tied with Brighton's Pascal Gross (11/2) and Newcastle's Kieran Trippier (9/1) in the assists leaderboard, with the Premier League Playmaker of the Season trophy up for grabs for whoever finishes top of the pile at the end of the campaign.

Although Watkins is Villa's primary goalscorer, he has also proved adept at setting up the likes of Leon Bailey and Moussa Diaby who provide him support up front from attacking midfield positions.

Ollie Watkins PFA Player of the Year Odds

Latest Odds - 20/1

As the Premier League player with the most goal involvements in the division so far this term on 29 - 19 goals and 10 assists - there is growing talk that Watkins should be a leading contender for the PFA Player of the Year award.

As arguably fourth-placed Villa's best performer in a campaign in which Unai Emery's charges are pushing hard for Champions League qualification for the first time in 42 years, there is a legitimate argument that Watkins deserves this individual recognition.

The Villa hero remains an outsider in this market, however, with Manchester City duo Phil Foden (5/4) and Rodri (5/2) the current frontrunners.
