Leads league in assists Watkins started and appeared in 37 games this season, registering 19 goals on 107 shots and 13 assists on 45 chances created. Impact Watkins earned the Premier League Playmaker of the Season award, having created 13 assists while also finishing in third for the Golden Boot race, only finding himself three spots from the top, although it was an eight-goal difference. This highlights the forward's best season as a professional footballer, with his 32-goal contributions being three better than the second-highest tally he registered while in the EFL Championship with Brentford during the 2019/20 season. He should be primed for another great season heading into the 2024/25 campaign, likely nearing the top of the goal contribution chart again, especially with his club, Aston Villa, on the rise.
