Jhon Durán’s 12 goals in just over 1,000 minutes this season with Aston Villa are unleashing madness in the Premier. The 21-year-old Colombian arrived in Birmingham for almost 17 million euros from the Chicago Fire of the MLS… and now West Ham is willing to up the ante to almost 70 ‘kilos’. And that’s a substitute.
Durán takes advantage of every opportunity that Emery gives him, it is evident. Seven goals in the Premier League (with only four starts), three in the Champions League (with one) and two in the League Cup. Villa’s starting ‘9’ is clearly Watkins, but that does not prevent there from being a lot of interest in the coffee grower.
And, as ‘Sky Sports’ reports, West Ham is going all out for his signing: “West Ham has made an offer of 57 million pounds for Aston Villa striker, Jhon Durán. Villa does not want to sell and it is understood that Durán is valued at more than 70 million pounds. That is, about 82 million euros at the exchange rate. An outrage.

“Ollie Watkins believes the two can play together, as he stated after Villa’s draw with Arsenal on Saturday. However, the man who needs to be convinced is Unai Emery, who seems reluctant to let Watkins and Durán form a partnership. confidence,” analyzes Laura Hunter in ‘Sky Sports UK’.
West Ham were already interested in Durán in the summer… and now they seem interested in returning to the fray. The figures, as is usual in operations between clubs in the English league, are exorbitant. Durán’s talent and effectiveness are beyond doubt, he has a lot of potential… but if the transfer goes through he would end up being one of the most expensive attackers in the history of English football.
