The Changing Landscape of Player Transfers in the Premier League

Would Ollie Watkins still be a Villa player if he had been playing ten years ago? Yes, that is a confusing question

If you said Ollie Watkins, congratulations, you may now claim your small cake as a prize. With the greatest of respect to— and that’s the very least they deserve for their continued rise to greater and greater heights over the past few years – there was a time, not so long ago, when players like Watkins would have earned a move to a top four or big six club long before now.

These were players who shone at that level just below the very elite and, inevitably, would be scooped up eventually. Some went on to play bit-part roles before returning back down to their previous level; others enjoyed long and fruitful careers. More stringent regulations over club finances mean that teams are, on the whole, less inclined to spend big on what could ultimately end up being squad players to them, instead looking abroad or, increasingly, to other big six clubs for supposedly more sure-fire hits or relative bargains for the same kind of role.
