Dean Windass has exclusively told The Transfer Tavern that he expects Liverpool to go after a "bigger name" than Ollie Watkins.

Following his impressive first campaign in the Premier League, recent reports believe that the Reds are keen on bringing the former Brentford man to Anfield this summer to bolster their misfiring attack, with Jurgen Klopp describing him as "undefendable" following his team's 7-2 defeat at Villa Park earlier in the campaign.

Watkins, who is Villa's only outfield ever-present player this season, is the club's top scorer having notched 12 goals in his 30 Premier League appearances.

Seven of those goals have come against sides in the traditional top-six, four of which were against Liverpool, including a incredible first-half hat-trick in the 7-2 mauling over the Reds back in October.

Despite his form, Windass has raised concerns over Watkins' lack of Premier League experience, and doesn't think Liverpool to pursue a deal for the Villa frontman.

He told The Transfer Tavern:

"I can't see it happening. He's done great, he's done absolutely fantastic.

"First season in the Premier League, you're a young boy, you're going to play every week. Is he going to play at Liverpool?

"I'm not saying he's a bad player, because he's done unbelievable since he left Brentford. The proof will be in the pudding, can he do it next year? He's got 12 goals, which is an unbelievable return for a club like that. I can't see that happening, if Firmino leaves, I think they'll got for a better player and a bigger name."
