Arsenal should make a £100m bid for Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins and also sign AC Milan defender Fikayo Tomori, says Paul Merson.

Arsenal would ‘prefer’ to sign two alternative strikers to Ollie Watkins but have ‘panicked’ in the final week of the transfer window, according to former Gunners midfielder Emmanuel Petit. The north London club are considering making a second offer for England international Watkins after seeing their opening £60m bid rejected by Aston Villa.

Arsenal are still trying to sign a new striker before the transfer window slams shut and the Juventus forward is at the top of their shortlist, but getting him won't be easy
