A biography for Ollie Watkinshasn’t been written yet.
“It's always hard going a man down.”
“I think throughout my whole career I've not been that aggressive person. Sometimes I would come off the pitch and my Dad, who isn't into football that much, would say: 'You weren't that aggressive!'”
“I think if you can score in any league you can score goals in the Premier League. That's how I see it.”
“People always talk about Harry Kane - he's a very good finisher and that's why his goal record is so good. There are a lot of players over the years that have been like that and that's what I want to be known for.”
“Any team I come up against I feel like I'm going to have the beating of the centre halves as long as my team-mates play me the ball.”
“I am so excited to join Aston Villa and to reunite with Dean Smith as my head coach.”
“Tottenham were interested in me - they made it clear if Harry Kane was fit, then he would play.”
“That's where I got utilised a lot at Exeter; I was playing left-back, centre-mid, played probably every position apart from centre-back and goalkeeper.”
“As soon as I go on the pitch, the number one thing should be to work hard, and don't leave anything out on the pitch. I feel that's what I do to help.”
“I feel like maybe my hold-up play isn't as good as a target man because I don't feel like I am that.”
“I always want to keep pushing.”
“That is the aim for every player, to play at the highest level possible.”
“I cannot wait to wear the famous claret and blue in the Premier League.”
“I feel like Steven Gerrard wanted me to do well and picked me regularly in the team. I had a really good relationship with him. He had a lot of belief in me.”
“I think people who watch football closely will see if I am taking two defenders away, it frees up space for other people. I try to do that.”
“I'm always going to be striving for more. You can't settle.”
“I don't think I can repeat any of the French words I know on camera, to be honest.”
“I just want to keep scoring.”
“The dream is to play with Brentford in the Premier League and hopefully that can happen.”
“It's good to always have a quick turnaround with games, especially when you've got momentum because you can build on that and try and get as many points as possible.”
