Ollie Watkins, the English forward, has been a revelation for Aston Villa since joining the team in 2020. He made his Premier League debut against Sheffield United and has since become a regular goal-scorer for the team. Watkins’ ability to block shots from midfielders and execute precision passes and shots between teammates has made him a nightmare for opposing defenders. He scored a hat-trick against Liverpool in October 2020 and was Aston Villa’s highest goal scorer in the 2020-2021 season.
Dominic Solanke, on the other hand, has been a consistent performer for Bournemouth since joining the team in 2019. He has scored 18 goals this season, with 14 of them coming from his trusty right foot. Solanke’s tackling skills are exceptional, and he has a tight hold on the ball, making it difficult for defenders to win it back. He has appeared in 194 matches for Bournemouth and has scored a total of 71 goals for the club.
Both Watkins and Solanke have been instrumental in their teams’ success this season. Aston Villa has won several matches with Watkins leading the charge, while Bournemouth has won 11 matches in the 2024 Premier League with Solanke in the lead. Their partnership with midfielders like Moussa Diaby, Douglas Luiz, Justin Kluivert, Luis Sinisterra, and Ryan Christie has been instrumental in their teams’ success.
As the Premier League season heats up, fans can expect to see more of Watkins and Solanke’s magic on the pitch. Will they continue to lead their teams to victory, or will new challengers emerge to take their place? One thing is certain – these two forwards are a force to be reckoned with, and their skills will be on full display in the remaining matches of the 2024 season.
