Ezri Konsa has claimed that his Aston Villa teammate Ollie Watkins has ‘crazy’ movement, as he told UMM’s official YouTube account.
Both players, now thriving in Aston Villa colours, played alongside each other at Brentford before being snapped up by the Midlands giants.
Whilst Konsa waits for his first England call, Watkins has already earned that golden ticket and also scored on his Three Lions debut.
The great thing about the 25-year-old is how he makes the life of opposition defenders a nightmare, not just with his goalscoring, but his ability to suffocate players with his relentless pressing.
Konsa spoke in awe of the striker and the hard work he does in training.
“He’s so good man,” said Konsa. “Not just the goal scoring, it’s the work he does off the ball. Non-stop running to help us.
“His movement is crazy. After training, all he is doing is finishing. He is always out early and he is always willing to learn.”
Watkins is yet to get off the mark this season but that’s because he only returned to action just before the international break.
But as soon as he can get his engine going then he will be putting the ball into the back of the net in next to no time.
The big difference this season is that he is playing alongside a partner in Danny Ings.
Whilst it’s still early days, it’s going to be interesting to see how the duo fair together because they might just be the nightmare strike duo that opposition teams don’t want to face.
