Al Hilal is working on a double attack from the Premier League of Arsenal‘S Gabriel Martinelli And Aston Villa‘S Ollie Watkins.
Brazilian Martinelli is reluctant to leave Arsenal for anything other than top-flight competition, but the Saudis are believed to offer a substantial contract on top of a fee closer to the Premier League champions’ £60million valuation.
Arsenal previously had a £38m bid from Galatasaray for Martinelli but he was not keen on moving to Turkey.
Watkins has been left out of Villa’s squad today as talks continue after Al Hilal rejected a £45million bid on Friday. That was their fourth bid for Watkins this summer.

The Saudis have looked at a number of Premier League options, with Chelsea’s Pedro Neto and Everton’s Iliman Ndiaye discussed.
Chelsea want £100m for Neto, while Ndiaye is open to a move away from Everton but a new Premier League challenge in the Champions League.
