Aston Villa signed Brentford striker Ollie Watkins in a club-record deal worth a reported £28 million ($36 million) on Wednesday.

Watkins agreed on a five-year contract with the Premier League club, who could eventually pay up to £33 million if certain clauses are met.
The fee eclipsed the £22 million Villa spent to sign Wesley from Club Brugge last year.
Watkins scored 26 goals as Brentford reached the Championship play-off final last season before losing to Fulham.
