The transfer fee for Watkins is reported to be around 58 million euros (254 million riyals), after Aston Villa had previously rejected an earlier offer from Al-Hilal.
The newspaper revealed that Aston Villa's stance changed in the last few hours, agreeing to Al-Hilal's offer after Watkins expressed his desire to move to the Saudi league.
Watkins is scheduled to arrive in Riyadh on Friday to complete the procedures for his transfer to Al-Hilal on a four-year contract.
