Chelsea continue to be linked with a move for Aston Villa’s in-form Colombian striker Jon Duran.

The 20-year-old Colombian striker scored another crucial goal in the win over Bayern Munich. Taking his tally to six in all competitions. And has been linked with a move to West Ham and Chelsea during the previous transfer window.

“£40m” was the figure that Aston Villa were reported to have rejected during the August transfer window. And the asking price for the young striker is likely to almost double after his impressive displays, with Villa having no objections to an offer that would suit them.

Durán might have departed the club in the past summer. Amid a flurry of bids from interested parties, he was most closely linked with West Ham. Infamously, he allowed himself to be pictured on social media making the crossed-arms gesture, only for that move to break down. ยูฟ่าเบท http://ufabet999.app Chelsea were another interested party.

By coincidence, the 20-year-old scored the winner at West Ham from the bench on the opening weekend of the season. He has scored four times since as a sub, with Unai Emery retaining Ollie Watkins as starting striker. His sole start, against Wycombe in the Carabao Cup, also saw him score.

Duran only joined Aston Villa in January 2023 from Major League Soccer side Chicago Fire for a fee of around £13.5m.
