Title: GOP Slams Gov. Tony Evers for Alleged Flip-Flop on ‘Mother’ Language
Post:
The Wisconsin Republican Party has launched scathing criticism against Governor Tony Evers following allegations of a sudden change in his stance on the use of the word ‘mother’. The controversy arose after Governor Evers reportedly shifted his language to be more gender-inclusive, sparking backlash from GOP members.
The issue came to light during a recent press conference where Governor Evers used the term ‘birthing parent’ instead of ‘mother’. This move has been met with strong opposition from the Republican group, accusing the Governor of pandering to political correctness at the expense of traditional values.
In response to the outcry, Governor Evers defended his choice of language, stating that it is important to be inclusive and respectful of all individuals, regardless of gender identity. However, this explanation has done little to appease his critics, who continue to condemn his actions as a betrayal of conservative principles.
As the debate rages on, it remains to be seen how this controversy will impact Governor Evers’ standing with voters and his ability to govern effectively. Stay tuned for further updates on this unfolding story.
Haliey Welch, known as the “Hawk Tuah” girl, has landed in fresh controversy after a leaked podcast episode reignited scrutiny over her failed meme coin, $HAWK.
The episode, which featured FaZe Clan co-founder Richard “FaZe Banks” Bengtson, was uploaded prematurely before being quickly removed—but not before screenshots and clips circulated online.
Welch, who went viral in 2024 before launching her controversial Solana-based crypto token in December, had been silent since its collapse. The project immediately faced backlash from crypto analysts like Coffeezilla and Banks, who called it a “mismanaged scam.” Banks had previously urged Welch to fire her team over the coin’s disastrous rollout.
Banks took to X (formerly Twitter) on February 6, 2025, slamming Welch’s team for the premature leak, which led to a spike in $HAWK’s trading volume. He revealed that he had agreed to appear on her Talk Tuah podcast under strict conditions, including preventing market manipulation and establishing a clear resolution for the token’s mismanagement.
So in an attempt to hear Haliey Welch’s side of the Crypto scam story, I agreed to do her first podcast back.
I had heavy stipulations including;
1) Not allowing markets to be manipulated by leaking this episodes existence before a resolution was found.
“Now today, the episode ‘randomly’ gets leaked. The price of $HAWK is pumping, and they completely fumbled the bag, yet again,” Banks wrote, accusing Welch’s team of insider trading and mishandling the situation.
Welch has yet to issue a statement on the podcast leak, and the episode remains absent from her YouTube channel. With renewed scrutiny on her crypto dealings, the controversy surrounding Welch and her failed meme coin shows no signs of slowing down.
FaZe Banks, co-owner of the popular eSports organization FaZe Clan, has come under fire after a leaked podcast episode sparked controversy surrounding cryptocurrency investments made by the Hawk Tuah girl’s team.
In the podcast, which was recorded several months ago and recently leaked online, members of the Hawk Tuah girl’s team discussed their investments in various cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin and Ethereum. The team members claimed to have made significant profits from their investments, leading to accusations of insider trading and market manipulation.
FaZe Banks, who is known for his outspoken personality and no-nonsense attitude, did not hold back in his criticism of the Hawk Tuah girl’s team. In a series of tweets, he slammed the team for their alleged involvement in the cryptocurrency market, calling their actions “reckless” and “irresponsible.”
The controversy has sparked a heated debate within the gaming and cryptocurrency communities, with many calling for a formal investigation into the Hawk Tuah girl’s team’s activities. Some have even called for the team to be banned from future eSports competitions.
As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how FaZe Banks and the Hawk Tuah girl’s team will respond to the backlash. One thing is for sure – this controversy has once again put a spotlight on the murky world of cryptocurrency investments in the gaming industry.
His father Saša Dončić was considerably less subdued in his reaction to the Mavericks’ decision to deal away their 25-year-old franchise player and perennial MVP candidate. Saša Dončić, a former professional player and head coach in Slovenia, made his feelings known in a candid interview with Arena Sport Slovenia on Sunday.
Without naming names, he slammed the “hypocrisy” of Mavericks brass involved in the trade.
“I understand there comes a moment when you disagree with a certain philosophy — you don’t like this or that player, all good, get it,” Saša Dončić said, per Arena Sport translation.
“But I think that exactly this secrecy, or should I say from some individuals, maybe even hypocrisy, this hurts me personally. Because I think that Luka absolutely doesn’t deserve this.”
Saša echoed Luka’s professed love for Dallas while touting his charitable work in the city since joining the Mavericks from Europe in 2018.
“I feel like this is very unfair from some individuals because I know that Luka respected Dallas a lot,” Saša continued. “He respected the whole city, Dallas. Helped children. It was never a problem for him to go to hospitals and to — I don’t know, orphanages and to all these charity events.”

Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison has been the Mavericks’ public face of the trade decision in multiple interview since the deal took place late Saturday. In an interview with ESPN, he justified the trade by declaring that “defense wins championships.”
“I believe that defense wins championships,” Harrison told ESPN. “I believe that getting an All-Defensive center and an All-NBA player with a defensive mindset gives us a better chance. We’re built to win now and in the future.”
Davis, 31, is a three-time blocks champion and a five-time NBA All-Defensive Team selection.
Saša addresses reports about Luka’s conditioning
According to an ESPN report, Harrison was dissatisfied with Luka Dončić’s conditioning, and there was “extreme frustration throughout the organization about Doncic’s lackadaisical approach to diet and conditioning, which Mavs decision-makers believed negatively impacted his durability.”
Dončić has been sidelined for 19 games with a calf injury that he suffered on Christmas. Saša addressed the reports about Luka’s conditioning with Arena Sport.
“It wasn’t even a problem last year since, I am saying again — one individual said he’s not fit enough that he played, I don’t know, 100 games practically 40 minutes with two, three players constantly on him,” Saša said. “That he was beaten and you say such things about him. I feel that this is very unfair from certain individuals.
“You traded him. Stand by your actions. But don’t look for excuses, alibis and that’s it.”
Last season, Dončić played 37.5 minutes per game in 70 regular-season games, then 40.9 minutes per game in 22 postseason games while leading the Mavericks to the NBA Finals as a first-team All-NBA selection for a fifth-straight season.
Now, less than a season after leading the Mavericks to their first Finals appearance since 2011, Dončić will attempt to do the same for the Western Conference-rival Lakers.
Luka Dončić’s dad Saša slams ‘hypocrisy’ of ex-Mavericks star’s trade to Lakers: ‘Luka absolutely doesn’t deserve this’
In a recent interview, Saša Dončić, the father of NBA star Luka Dončić, expressed his frustration and disappointment with the trade that sent his son from the Dallas Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers. Saša Dončić criticized the “hypocrisy” of the decision and insisted that Luka did not deserve to be traded.
“Luka has given his all to the Mavericks and has been a loyal and dedicated player for years. It is truly disappointing to see him being traded in this manner,” Saša Dončić said. “The hypocrisy of the situation is evident, and it is clear that Luka absolutely doesn’t deserve this treatment.”
Saša Dončić went on to praise his son’s work ethic and commitment to the game, highlighting the impact Luka has had on the Mavericks and the NBA as a whole. He urged fans and analysts to consider the human side of the trade and to remember the hard work and dedication that Luka has put into his career.
The trade of Luka Dončić to the Lakers has been met with mixed reactions from fans and analysts, with many questioning the motives behind the move. Saša Dončić’s comments shed light on the emotional toll that trades can have on players and their families, emphasizing the need for empathy and understanding in these situations.
As Luka Dončić prepares to start a new chapter with the Lakers, his father’s words serve as a reminder of the sacrifices and challenges that come with being a professional athlete. Despite the disappointment of the trade, Saša Dončić remains supportive of his son and confident in his ability to succeed in his new team.
NEW ORLEANS – Roger Goodell has a word for the popular conspiracy theory that the Chiefs are getting favorable calls from NFL officials in order to make sure their Patrick Mahomes-, Travis Kelce-, Taylor Swift-fueled dynasty keeps winning.
“That’s a ridiculous theory,” the NFL commissioner said Monday at his annual pre-Super Bowl news conference, “for anyone who might take it seriously.”
The two-time defending champion Chiefs have been called for three defensive holding, one roughing the passer and one unnecessary roughness penalties over the last four years of playoff games, according to Sharp Football Analysis.

Their opponents in those games have been flagged for 22 of those same big-yardage penalties.
Moreover, the Chiefs have been called for 41 cumulative penalties to the opponents’ 71.
Across 11 games, the Chiefs have accumulated more penalties than the opponent once but never more penalty yardage.
“This sort of reminds me a little bit of the script, right? That I write the script and have the script for the entire season,” Goodell quipped, mocking a past conspiracy theory.

“A lot of those theories are things that happen on social media and they get a new life. Nobody wants it to be their theory. I understand it. It reflects a lot of the fans’ passion. It also is a reminder for us how important officiating is.”
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has publicly slammed the “ridiculous” conspiracy theory that claims the Kansas City Chiefs are receiving preferential treatment from officials.
In a recent press conference, Goodell addressed the rumors that have been circulating online and among fans, stating, “There is absolutely no truth to these conspiracy theories. Our officials are held to the highest standards of integrity and impartiality, and any suggestion otherwise is simply unfounded.”
The controversy surrounding the Chiefs’ perceived advantage in officiating has been fueled by a series of close calls and controversial decisions in recent games. However, Goodell emphasized that these calls are made based on the rules of the game and not on any bias towards a particular team.
As the NFL continues to investigate and address any concerns regarding officiating, Goodell urged fans to focus on the excitement of the game and not get caught up in baseless conspiracy theories. He reiterated that the integrity of the sport is of the utmost importance and that the league is committed to ensuring fair and consistent officiating for all teams.
So, while the Chiefs may be dominating on the field, there is no evidence to suggest that they are receiving any special treatment from officials. Goodell’s strong stance against the conspiracy theory serves as a reminder to fans to focus on the game itself and leave the speculation behind.
“Dream has one mother, Angela White, and one father, Robert Kardashian. I usually don’t speak up, but I’m done,” Chyna, 36, wrote via Instagram comment on Friday, January 31. “Stop all this clout-chasing involving my daughter!”
Chyna and Kardashian, 37, welcomed their only child together in November 2013 before they split less than one year later. (Chyna also shares son King Cairo, 12, with ex Tyga.)
“As parents, we have joint custody,” she wrote on Friday of her dynamic with Kardashian. “We also have a beautiful, healthy coparenting relationship.”
Thompson, 33, meanwhile, shares two children with Rob’s sister Khloé Kardashian after dating on and off between 2016 and 2021. (Thompson also shares son Prince, 8, with Jordan Craig and son Theo, 3, with Maralee Nichols.)
“I have two daughters and their names are Dream, [who] is my oldest daughter and True is the second oldest,” the NBA star said in a social media video reshared via Hollywood Unlocked’s Instagram account. “Those are my two girls and I miss you guys so much. I love you guys.”

Thompson and Khloé, 40, are parents to daughter True, 6, and son Tatum, 2. The Good American founder also has a close relationship with her niece Dream. In a 2023 episode of The Kardashians, Khloé even said that she feels like a “third parent” to Rob’s daughter, who often has sleepovers with True and Tatum. The comment sparked drama with Chyna, prompting Khloé to clarify her remarks.
“I love ALL of my nieces and nephews more than I can express. Dream and I are particularly close. My brother and I are extremely close,” Khloé said in a July 2023 Instagram Story statement. “I am with Dream all the time because I’m with my brother all of the time. I love her beyond measure.”
She continued, “I consider ALL of my nieces and nephews my babies. I even consider my sisters my babies. I take pride in this love and always have. I wholeheartedly believe that it takes a village to raise a child. Life is full of ups and downs and I am proud that we have a family that can lean on one another. That’s what family does.”
Thompson, meanwhile, has not further addressed his recent comments about having “two daughters,” nor Chyna’s stance on his perspective.
Blac Chyna has had enough of Tristan Thompson’s claims about her daughter Dream. In a recent interview, the NBA star reportedly stated that Dream, who is the daughter of Chyna and her ex Rob Kardashian, is also his child. This statement did not sit well with Chyna, who took to social media to slam Thompson for his comments.
In a fiery post on Instagram, Chyna wrote, “I am so tired of Tristan Thompson spreading lies about my daughter. Dream is Rob’s child, and he has no right to claim otherwise. I am done with his games and his constant attempts to undermine my relationship with my daughter. Dream knows who her father is, and it is not Tristan Thompson.”
Chyna’s post quickly went viral, with many fans showing their support for her and condemning Thompson for his remarks. It is unclear what prompted Thompson to make such claims about Dream, but Chyna made it clear that she will not tolerate any further attempts to discredit her as a mother.
This latest drama adds to the already strained relationship between Chyna and the Kardashian-Jenner family, with whom Thompson shares a close bond. It remains to be seen how this situation will unfold, but one thing is for sure – Chyna is not backing down when it comes to defending her daughter.

Carlo Ancelotti branded the decision to not send off Espanyol‘s Carlos Romero — who later went on to score the only goal in his team’s 1-0 win over Real Madrid — as “inexplicable” on Saturday, after the defender apologised for his challenge on Kylian Mbappé.
Romero was shown a yellow card by referee Alejandro Muñiz Ruiz for his foul on Mbappé in the 61st minute, bringing down the Madrid forward with a tackle from behind as he broke away on the counter attack.
The defender later went on to score a dramatic 85th minute winner, with the defeat leaving leaders Real just one point clear of rivals Atlético Madrid at the top of the LaLiga table.
“The decision the referee and the VAR took is inexplicable,” Ancelotti told a post-match news conference. “Everyone saw it. The most important thing is to protect the player. It’s a clear foul, a very ugly challenge. Fortunately nothing happened in terms of an injury, but the VAR is there for that. It’s inexplicable to us that he didn’t show a red card.”
Speaking after the final whistle, Romero said he had apologised to Mbappé.
“I knew that it’s impossible to stop [Mbappé] on the run,” he told DAZN. “I did what I could to stop him. The challenge was a bit ugly, I didn’t like that, and I said sorry to him.”
Espanyol coach Manolo González said there had been no intent on Romero’s part to injure Mbappé.
“It was a tough challenge, but it was meant to stop the counterattack, not to hurt the opponent,” González told DAZN.
Madrid were also angered by the first-half decision to disallow a Vinícius Júnior goal for a foul by Mbappé.
“The game was difficult,” Ancelotti admitted. “We did some things well. We had control, above all in the second half, and we had chances. We had a goal ruled out, we hit the woodwork. We had 20 shots on goal. Espanyol played well in transitions, defended well, they caught us out of shape and they scored.”
Madrid defender Antonio Rüdiger was withdrawn with an injury in the 15th minute, ahead of a run of games which will see Madrid play Leganés in a Copa del Rey quarterfinal, before hosting rivals Atlético in the derby next Saturday, and then visiting Manchester City in the first leg of their Champions League knockout phase playoff.
The team are already without Dani Carvajal and Éder Militão in defence — while David Alaba has only just returned from a long-term absence — with the transfer window set to close on Monday.
“Rudiger has a muscular injury, now we’ll have to assess it,” Ancelotti said. “We’ve talked about [signings], we’ve thought about it and we know what we have to do.”
Carlo Ancelotti, the manager of Everton, has expressed his frustration with the referee’s decision to give a red card to one of his players in their recent match. The player in question has also issued an apology for his actions.
In a post-match press conference, Ancelotti slammed the red card call as ‘inexplicable’ and questioned the referee’s judgment. He believed that the decision had a significant impact on the outcome of the game and felt that it was unfair to his team.
The player who received the red card also spoke out, expressing his remorse for the foul that led to his sending off. He acknowledged that his actions were reckless and apologized to his teammates, the fans, and the coaching staff.
Despite the setback, Ancelotti remains confident in his team’s ability to bounce back from this defeat. He is determined to learn from this experience and focus on improving their performance in future matches.
Overall, this incident serves as a reminder of the unpredictability of football and the importance of maintaining composure in high-pressure situations. Ancelotti and his team will now look to regroup and continue their pursuit of success in the remainder of the season.

Pop star Madonna took a swipe at the Trump administration’s wave of executive orders with a social media message made in solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community.
“It’s so sad to watch our new Government slowly dismantling all the Freedoms we have been fighting for and WON over the years,” the 66-year-old singer wrote in an X post on Tuesday.
After adding a pride flag and broken heart emojis, she concluded the post by urging her fans, “Don’t give up the Fight!”
The “Material Girl” and “Vogue” singer’s post came hours after Trump signed an executive order titled “Prioritizing Military Excellence and Readiness,” which bars transgender Americans from serving in the military.

Last week, Trump also signed an executive order recognizing only two sexes – male and female – in all areas of the federal government, also mandating that the government adhere to biological sex rather than gender.
Conservatives lauded the move as a “return to common sense,” but critics met the decision with scrutiny.
Madonna, who has been an outspoken advocate for the LGBTQ+ community in the past, was also an outspoken critic of Trump during his first term in office.
In 2017, she delivered a profanity-laced speech at the Women’s March in Washington, D.C., shortly after Trump assumed office for his first term.
“I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House,” she said at the time, before adding that she “knows this won’t change anything.”
The soundbite made headlines, earning rage among those in Trump’s corner. After Trump defeated former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in Nov. 2016, Madonna said his victory “felt like someone died.”
“It wasn’t a bad dream that I had,” she added at the time, saying she wanted to “rain on [Trump’s] parade.”

Madonna slams Trump over executive order barring transgender military service
In a scathing Instagram post, pop icon Madonna has criticized President Trump for his recent executive order banning transgender individuals from serving in the military. The singer, known for her outspoken support of LGBTQ rights, called the decision “cruel and unjust” and accused the president of discriminating against a marginalized community.
Madonna went on to express her solidarity with transgender service members, stating that they deserve “the same rights and opportunities as anyone else.” She also urged her followers to speak out against the discriminatory policy and to stand up for equality and inclusivity.
The executive order, signed by Trump in August, has faced backlash from LGBTQ activists and civil rights groups, who argue that it is a blatant attack on transgender rights. Madonna’s powerful statement adds to the growing chorus of voices condemning the president’s decision and advocating for equality for all individuals, regardless of their gender identity.

Madonna is slamming the Donald Trump administration for their slew of executive orders targeting marginalized groups.
The pop icon took to her X account (formerly Twitter) on Thursday to express her support for the LGBTQ community after the president, who returned to the White House last Monday, signed an order barring transgender people from serving and enlisting in the military.
More from The Hollywood Reporter
“It’s so sad to watch our new Government slowly dismantling all the Freedoms we have been fighting for and WON over the years,” Madonna wrote, adding the LGBTQ pride flag and broken red heart emojis. “Don’t give up the Fight!”
On Monday, Trump signed a controversial executive order titled “Prioritizing Military Excellence and Readiness.” The order reinstates a policy from Trump’s first term and rescinds a 2021 order by Joe Biden that allowed trans people to enlist in the military and serve openly. The president has also rolled back diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility initiatives in his first week back in office.
The “Material Girl” singer has been a longtime advocate for the LGBTQ community, dating back to the 1980s, when she spoke out about the HIV/AIDS crisis and was fighting for gay rights. In 2019, Madonna was also honored with the Advocate for Change Award at the 30th annual GLAAD Media Awards.
Sarah Kate Ellis, the president and CEO of GLAAD, also wrote in a statement following Trump’s executive order, “Transgender people are already serving in the military with honor and keeping our country and military safer and stronger. They meet the same rigorous health and readiness standards, and continue to do so. The Trump administration’s inaccurate statements and rhetoric targeting transgender people are not based on facts. LGBTQ Americans have been here before, ending ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ and Trump’s previous trans military ban. Research and military experts have made it loud and clear that targeting service members because of who they are is blatantly discriminatory and makes our country less safe.”
Madonna isn’t the only celebrity condemning Trump’s aggressive new policies. In a since-deleted Instagram video, Selena Gomez got vulnerable over the deportation of undocumented immigrants. “All my people are getting attacked … the children. I don’t understand,” she said as tears streamed down her face. “I’m so sorry. I wish I could do something but I can’t. I don’t know what to do. I’ll try everything, I promise.”
Madonna Slams Trump Administration for “Slowly Dismantling All the Freedoms We Have Been Fighting For”
Madonna, the iconic singer and outspoken activist, has once again taken aim at the Trump administration for what she sees as a systematic erosion of the rights and freedoms that Americans have fought so hard to achieve.
In a recent interview, Madonna criticized President Trump and his administration for their handling of various social and political issues, including the treatment of immigrants, LGBTQ rights, and women’s rights. She accused the administration of slowly dismantling the progress that has been made in these areas over the years.
Madonna, who has never been one to shy away from controversy, has been a vocal critic of President Trump since he took office in 2017. She has used her platform to speak out against his policies and actions, and has urged her fans to stand up and fight for what they believe in.
The singer’s latest comments come at a time when tensions in the United States are running high, with many Americans feeling disillusioned and frustrated with the current political climate. Madonna’s words serve as a reminder that the fight for equality and justice is far from over, and that it is up to all of us to continue pushing for progress and positive change.
As Madonna herself put it, “We cannot let the actions of a few powerful individuals dictate the future of our country. We must stand together and fight for the freedoms that we hold dear.”

Whoopi Goldberg spoke out against one of the first statements made by new White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on the latest episode of The View.
On Wednesday, Jan. 29, Goldberg and her co-hosts discussed Leavitt’s comments about the White House’s decision to welcome social media influencers, content creators, and podcasters into the press room, with Goldberg addressing one remark in particular, according to TV Insider.
“I would like her to do a little homework because she said something yesterday that really pissed me off,” Goldberg began. “And that was she said, ‘There will be no wokeness here.’ Oh, yeah, let me explain something to you, because without that wokeness, you might not have that job. Yeah, because women were not invited to that table. Women were not invited to many tables in this nation.”
As Goldberg explained, “the reason we fought and busted our behinds [was] to make sure that you didn’t have to worry about this.”
“And now to hear you talk about it, and to hear anybody talk about ‘the wokeness,’ the wokeness was put in place for a reason: because Black people couldn’t get into colleges, because women could not get into the colleges they wanted to go to,” she continued.
“This is all women, see. This is not Black, Asian women. This is all women. Women were not invited to this party. It was a man’s world, and we busted our asses to make sure that this was a person’s world. So please, please stop using that phrase and talking about this because you don’t understand what you’re saying.”
As for the new types of outlets being invited to the White House, Goldberg seemed to have an open mind.
“The mistake is there’s too much BS floating out there, and now it’s out of our hands,” she said. “There’s no way to control it. So now they’re saying they’re going to control it. I want to see what they’re going to do. I want to see who they’re going to invite into this because, quite honestly, I like when we’re held to standards. I don’t always like the way they do it, but we have to have ourselves together.”
“We can’t just say stuff in spite of what they tell you,” Goldberg added. “We can’t just spout stuff. So I want that for everybody, and if they’re going to guarantee that they’re at the briefing, then I’ll be happy.”
Whoopi Goldberg Slams White House Press Secretary: ‘Do a Little Homework’
In a recent episode of “The View,” co-host Whoopi Goldberg didn’t hold back when discussing White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki’s recent comments during a press briefing. Goldberg criticized Psaki for not being prepared and urged her to “do a little homework” before speaking to the press.
Goldberg pointed out that Psaki seemed unsure of the facts and stumbled over her words during the briefing, which she found concerning given the importance of the role. “It’s crucial for the White House Press Secretary to be well-informed and articulate when speaking to the public,” Goldberg said.
She went on to emphasize the need for Psaki to be better prepared and urged her to take the time to research and understand the issues before addressing the press. “It’s not just about looking good on camera, it’s about being informed and knowledgeable about the topics at hand,” Goldberg added.
Goldberg’s comments have sparked a debate online, with some agreeing with her criticism of Psaki’s performance, while others defend the Press Secretary’s handling of the briefing. Regardless, it’s clear that Goldberg believes in the importance of being well-prepared and informed, especially when representing the White House to the public.

Gunners boss Mikel Arteta is a long-term admirer of the England international and the club have now moved for the 29-year-old.
It is understood Arsenal have made an initial offer for Watkins which has been rejected but an improved attempt is expected.
Watkins still has three years to run on his existing deal at Villa Park and is a key player for Unai Emery’s side.
However, a move to Arsenal may appeal to Watkins, who has admitted he grew up as an Arsenal fan.
Whilst playing for Brentford, the forward said in 2020: ‘That’s the dream, to play for Arsenal one day. But, you know, it’s a long shot.’
Arsenal have seen a shock bid for Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins rejected by the club
Mikel Arteta’s side are keen to bolster their attacking options in the January transfer window
Watkins found the back of the net during Aston Villa’s recent 2-2 draw with Arsenal
The 29-year-old played a vital role in England’s run to the Euro 2024 final during the summer
Nevertheless, Emirates chiefs have identified the forward as the man they believe can ignite their title challenge as they look to haul down Liverpool at the top of the Premier League table.
Villa, however, will believe they are in a strong position given Watkins’ contractual situation and it remains to be seen whether the Gunners can successfully pull off what would be one of the most eye-catching transfers of the January window.
Watkins has scored 10 goals in 31 appearances for Villa this season, one of those coming in the recent 2-2 draw against Arsenal at the Emirates.

Arsenal make shock bid for Ollie Watkins: Aston Villa reject offer for star striker as Mikel Arteta looks to bolster his attacking force before the transfer window slams shut
In a surprising turn of events, Arsenal have made a shock bid for Aston Villa’s star striker Ollie Watkins. The Gunners are looking to bolster their attacking force before the transfer window slams shut, and have identified Watkins as a top target.
However, Aston Villa have swiftly rejected Arsenal’s offer for the talented forward, with manager Dean Smith determined to hold onto his key player. Watkins has been in impressive form for Villa since joining from Brentford last season, and has caught the eye of several top clubs with his performances.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is keen to add more firepower to his squad, and sees Watkins as a perfect fit for his attacking system. The Gunners have struggled for goals in recent seasons, and Arteta is hopeful that Watkins could provide the cutting edge they have been missing.
It remains to be seen whether Arsenal will make an improved offer for Watkins, or if they will turn their attention to other targets in the final days of the transfer window. But one thing is for sure – the Gunners are determined to strengthen their squad as they look to challenge for silverware this season.
