Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins is determined to take his game to a new level.

Watkins has scored 10 goals in his maiden top flight campaign following a club record £28million move from Brentford last summer.

The 25-year-old's form has seen him touted for a possible England call-up when Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate announced his squad for this month's World Cup qualifiers today.

But Watkins believes he is still capable of much better and is targeting a strong finish to the season.

He said: “I'm always thinking about the next thing. I never really settle and I'm never content. That can also be a bad thing because I'm quite harsh on myself, but also I can't stop until I get where I want to be.

“I look back and use it as motivation to say, 'I don't really want to be back there, I want to keep pushing forward.'

“I just want to get as close to the 20-goal mark as possible. I think it puts you in another bracket when you are talking about a 20-goal a season man. I want to get as close to that as possible. We will see what happens."
