JUST IN: Aston Villa announces John Duran’s replacement

Aston Villa announces John Duran’s replacement

Ollie Watkins is Aston Villa’s main striker, so losing Duran is not that significant a blow.

However, Emery will want to bring in a new attacker if the Colombian ends up leaving, and there is some good news on that front.

TBR Football can reveal that Chelsea forward Joao Felix wants to move to Aston Villa before the transfer window shuts.

Talks over a deal have taken place between the clubs during conversations over the transfer of Axel Disasi in recent days.

Villa would’ve bid for Felix last summer if Duran had left at the time, but he didn’t. Chelsea secured the Portuguese attacker’s signature then.
