Does he need to play a game to trigger the add-on payments ?

I'd imagine it was game related to be honest.
Gareth, leave Ollie on the bench please.

Southgate on Ollie:
We like his pressing, the speed and runs in behind. He's got some improvement to make in linking the game but, for his first season in the Premier League at a big club, he's done exceptionally well

Can't argue with that. Like the "big club" bit, fair play.

Ollie’s well and truly earned that! Great for him and us.

It won’t harm his development training with the England squad either, hopefully gives him the self belief that he’s good enough and will want to try even harder for us once he has a taste of it.
He’ll have Mings to keep him company, shame Jack won’t be there.

Extremely pleased for him. I have to say I think it's a strange call up to international level considering his wasteful finishing and ball control. But on the other hand he does run alot and there aren't many English strikers about who do what he does in terms of work rate. Good for him and his development.

Brilliant news for Watkins and villa, his confidence should be unbelievable for Sunday , hopefully he'll be like a coiled spring and bag a goal or two.
Be interesting to see where Southgate plays him.

He’ll get more service in the England team that’s for sure.

Congratulations to Ollie Watkins, what a journey for him and great to see another villa player represent their country
I like Watkins but I think more is to come from him. I think he will improve and hopefully this call up will be a springboard for further success. I’m actually a little surprised he’s been called up so soon in his PL career (especially when looking at the Grealish situation) but with a few injuries I guess he is the next best in line.

I am a little bit perplexed
Meltdown as Weston Super Mud fans receive the news that their club played no part in the development of Watkins.

Just been reading that if Ollie gets on the pitch for England it will trigger a £1M payment to Brentford. Same again for his first few caps and another £1M for staying up this season. Should help them fund another unknown gem from league 2
i think its normally if they get a cap

Do you get a cap if you're an unused sub ?
