Just In: Newcastle United confirms their £11 million departure as the 12-goal ace leaves Aston Villa in a West Ham blow, indicating that his medical is complete.
Before his sensational £64 million transfer from Aston Villa to Saudi Pro League team Al-Nassr, Aston Villa wonderkid Jhon Duran has finished his medical.
Despite frequently playing second fiddle to Olle Watkins, Duran has been one of the Premier League’s most impressive young players, scoring 12 goals in 29 appearances across all competitions. This season, he has given supporters some memorable moments, such as victories over Bayern Munich, Aston Villa, and Leicester City. After turning down many offers from West Ham, who are in need of a center forward due to injuries to summer acquisition Nicklas Fulkrug, top scorer Jarrod Bowen, and Michail Antonio, the team had previously demonstrated a great desire to keep Duran on board.
But after the Colombian stated a wish to establish himself in a new league and team up with five-time Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo, Villa finally concluded that this was the appropriate time to cash in on one of their most valuable assets. The football world is divided about the idea, and TalkSport host Simon Jordan is particularly upset about it. He said, “He’s not a serious footballer, is he? At the start of his career, he is 21 years old and has the entire world ahead of him. He aspires to travel to Saudi Arabia to play for a major football team in the top division. He doesn’t play football seriously.
“Jhon Duran is a talented young Colombian international football player who is 21 years old.
