4 goals in 2 games? Jhon Duran’s electrifying form has fans questioning Aston Villa’s decision to let him go
Jhon Duran has made an impressive start to life in Saudi Arabia after joining Al-Nassr from Aston
Villa for £72 million in the January transfer window.

Duran, 21, was sold to the Saudi club, which surprised many given how well he performed under
Unai Emery in the first half of the season.
Duran rapidly established himself as one of Europe’s top teenage strikers, having scored 10 goals
in 27 games, 23 of which he came on as a substitute.
Duran joined Villa from Chicago Fire in January 2023 and made 78 appearances for the club.
But, just as he appeared to be establishing himself as a regular starter for the Villains, he was loaned
out to Al-Nassr, a Saudi Pro League club that includes Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mane, and Aymeric Laporte.
The Colombian international has gelled well with his teammates since joining the club, scoring four goals in his first two games.
Duran scored a brace on his full debut for his new club, helping them defeat Al-Fayha 3-0.
He extended his hot streak on Wednesday, scoring two more goals to assist Al-Nassr defeat Ivan
Toney’s Al-Ahli, with the England forward also scoring.
Al-Nassr is presently third in the Saudi Pro League, two points behind second-place Al-Hilal and
four points behind leaders Al-Ittihad.
Dhuran’s team has also secured a spot in the AFC Champions League knockout round after winning
five of their seven group stage matches.
The striker’s hot streak comes after he admitted to feeling star-struck while playing alongside
Cristiano Ronaldo.
