Brentford have agreed a £1.8m deal to sign Exeter striker Ollie Watkins, according to Sky sources.

The 21-year-old is having a medical with the Championship club and finalising personal terms.

Sky sources reported last week that Brentford were hoping to land Watkins after signing another striker; the France U21 international Neal Maupay.
