Ollie Watkins, born in Newton Abbot
Transfers:
18 July 2017 Exeter to Brentford on a four-year contract, with an option for a further year, for an undisclosed fee, reported to be £1.8 million.
9 September 2020 Brentford to Aston Villa on a five-year contract, for a £28 million fee, which could rise to £33 million.
To make millions from a transfer, Argyle have to be in the Championship at least - and for that player to have demonstrated their skill and worth at a high level.
Just seen it's been done already, but it's the sell-on clauses that are crucial. So Exeter did make millions from that deal.
If you really wanted to have a little gamble and if the buying club was desperate, negotiating a much lower transfer fee but a 40-50% sell on clause (I'm not sure if that ever happens) then you'd be seriously quids-in if the player moved on to the Premier League.
Two gaping holes in Argyle at the moment, are lack of training ground/academy and lack of big transfer fees coming in, The two are linked
