Sheffield United and Crystal Palace are allegedly interested in signing Brentford forward Ollie Watkins during the January transfer window.

Brentford forward Ollie Watkins has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for Sheffield United and Crystal Palace.

After contributing 13 goals and two assists from 22 Championship appearances this season, Watkins is likely to receive offers in January.

According to Sky Sports News, the Bees have responded by placing a £25m price-tag on the 23-year-old, who still has three-and-a-half years on his contract.

However, it appears that the Blades and Eagles are prepared to consider making a big-money offer for the attacker in the coming weeks.

While neither club are short of options in the final third, Watkins would provide a different option for two teams looking to finish in the top half of the Premier League standings.
