Unai Emery has told Ollie Watkins he wants the striker to stick around at Aston Villa.
Emery has helped guide Villa to the last-16 of the Champions League, with Watkins on target during their final match of the league phase.
It came amid claims Arsenal are eyeing up a move for the striker, with Emery setting his stall out after the Celtic win.
He said: “I don’t want [him to leave]. We want to keep our sporting objective through the players we have in the squad.
“Every player can be in the market in case it’s good for the player, club and team, but to get this deal, we have to be very demanding as well. Ollie Watkins is our striker.”
