ARSENAL and Chelsea have both enquired about Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran and have requested to know the conditions of a sale, according to Caught Offside.
Duran, who was linked with Chelsea and West Ham over the summer, has scored 12 goals so far this season, helping Villa continue their impressive form after they finished fourth last term.
Reports says the Gunners are still lacking an ‘outstanding number nine’ and believes Duran would be an ideal addition to Mikel Arteta’s squad, although it may be difficult to get the striker signed in the January window.
Duran has started the last few games for Aston Villa because of his impressive performances for the club, so he is now firmly establishing himself as the first choice option for Unai Emery and a man that could lead that attack for years.
And it seems that Arsenal have contacted Aston Villa about a potential deal for Duran, but have been knocked back as Villa have no intention of selling the player.
Asked who he thinks Arsenal should try and sign, reporter Iomie Stanley told icfootballnews that Duran is the player Arsenal should go for: ‘I think the Gunners should make a tempting offer to sign Duran from Aston Villa..
‘He looks a real handful and a bit different from the rest. He’s got that good presence about him. Arsenal take a chance on him, he looks like the real deal and a player that could develop into of the best forwards in the Premier League.
‘What I look for is people who are hungry, and he’s got that. In terms of the big boys, ARSENAL haven’t got an outstanding No. 9 and needs to make sure that they improve that department in January or at the end of the season
‘I also like Alexander Isak, he would be another good option for the Gunners to sign, I was really impressed with his performance against Ipswich at the weekend, he looks a handful. You can’t just go by one game, but he looks a threat.’
