Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins is a role model to his teammates at present.

That is the opinion of Jacob Ramsey, who only has praise for striker Watkins and his outstanding form under boss Unai Emery.

The 27-year-old has six goals in his past seven matches, after struggling and only scoring two in the first 14 games he played this term.

Villa midfielder Ramsey said, per the Express and Star: It just shows what can happen if you keep your head up and keep working hard.

Ollie is the first to admit this season, especially in the first half, none of the attackers were scoring enough goals.

He has kept working hard in training, done extras, he has a good mentality and I'm happy for him."

Ramsey added: Any attacker in the squad can look up to Ollie's mentality. Most games he gets two or three chances and if you look at his reaction, he is always telling himself to go again.

A striker's mentality is completely different to anyone else's. I have been playing with Ollie for a couple of years now and the first thing I would say is his mentality is top. Missing a chance does not faze him. He knows that going into games."
