There are several reports of an Arsenal bid for Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins.

BBC Sport has been told by a source Villa have no intention of selling the forward, who has 10 goals in 31 games this season.

Villa are unhappy with the timing of the news of the reported £60m bid, which broke just hours before their Champions League game against Celtic.

Outlets, including the Press Association, have reported the offer, while the Daily Mail has written it has been rejected.

BBC Sport is looking into those reports to try to verify any approach.

Arsenal have been approached and have so far declined to comment.

Aston Villa's Unai Emery is expected to address the issue in his post-match news conference.
