Former Chelsea striker Tony Cascarino can see Tottenham eyeing Aston Villa centre-forward Ollie Watkins as a replacement for Harry Kane.

Cascarino believes the north London club could sign the Villa man as a replacement for Kane.

He told talkSPORT: “I saw him at Exeter a couple of times and you could see there was a player there, but you could never imagine he'd go from where he was to the England squad in 2021.

“He's done brilliantly well. He'll be a target for a few clubs. I think if Tottenham lost Harry (Kane) they could go after him, or at least try."

He added: “The biggest standout feature I have for him, you can see there's a real talent in there with pace and has an eye for a goal.

“He is developing as a centre forward, but I always feel like he's got a point to prove and every step and every obstacle he's developed.

“There's more to come from Ollie Watkins."
