The only player to rank among the top 10 in the league for dribbles (65, fifth), key passes (54, third) and shots (83, first), Ollie Watkins has taken to the Championship with ease after his £1.8m move from Exeter City to Brentford in the summer. His value has soared in the last six months.
The 22-year-old winger has started 21 of his 25 league appearances so far this season, chipping in with seven goals and three assists. Those numbers are a little low given how many chances he creates and shots he takes, which suggest he still needs to work on his end product, but Watkins has all the tools to become a top player. He is fast, strong, has an eye for a pass and puts in good deliveries from wide, so may not be with the Bees for long.
