Has there been any progress on his new contract? When does his current one end?

He’s signed up till summer 2025. They’ve typically been renewing players with two years let, so makes sense.

Doesn't give me confidence when there's something meaningful at stake, real pressure penalties like the one at Anfield in front of the Kop when every point counted for a place in Europe.

Yeah, alright, you made that same point a handful of posts up the page! He's not great at them and he probably won't be our regular taker going forward.

A few months ago. I've not read back any posts from previous days.

if Kane leaves Spurs, it will be interesting to see if they make a move for Watkins

As he is a London boy, you would expect him to be very interested in a move to them.

He's not a London boy, he's from Devon.

Isn't he and his family also Arsenal fans? Or am I misremembering.

Yep

He’s an Arsenal fan too. I know it means little to a pro’ but really, would he want to piss off friends and family? Don’t think so.

Anyway, this is his first chance at European football which he’ll want to be part of. I suppose if Spurs double his wages he might view it all differently. Can’t see Levy doing anything like that.

Yeah, I don't think he'd turn down Spurts purely on his own allegiance, but it's just the icing on the cake of a long list of reasons not to join them at the minute.

To get him off us they'd have to pay the English player, Premier League supplement and I reckon we'd be demanding £80m. I like Ollie but he's not 80% as good as Kane.

This is my fear as to why he hasn't signed a new contract yet.

Kane would be priced higher if he had more than a year left on his deal.

Yeah, plus it would make it a long trek for Matty Cash when he pops round for Sunday lunch.

I know Im biased but at this moment in time, with our trajectory upwards and theres seemingly going the other way, i cannot see why he would consider Spurs over us.

It's about time Ollie Watkins signed a new longterm contract. Hopefully this can be settled soon with rumours of rival clubs circling.....
