Blues fans told Chelsea wants to complete the signing of £40M Premier League star
CHELSEA are still very interested in signing Aston Villa talent Jhon Duran – a striker that the club have been chasing since the start of the transfer window.
The centre-forward scored a modest eight goals in 37 appearances in all competitions last season and it is believed the Blues see the 20-year-old as a potential answer to their striker problems.
Duran is thought to be happy at Villa Park but would be eager to move to Stamford Bridge if they push through with their interest. It is thought the striker believes he would work well with Maresca and suits the club’s vision.
It is reported that he has asked his agent to get a deal done despite no formal proposal being made, and Permission has been granted by Villa for the club to discuss personal terms but nothing is doing so far.
Fabrizio Romano told CaughtOffside: “Keep an eye on the striker situation, as another player they still like is Jhon Duran.’

Duran is certainly a talented striker – but this is the wrong move at the wrong time for the lad – he will really struggle to make any sort of impact at the club because he is not good enough for the Blues yet.
I would much rather see the club spend that money on a proven player that can make an immediate impact – Duran is simply not good enough.
