“Great finisher than Jackson” – Chelsea to make tempting £80 million offer and sign 12-goal striker
There has been some fresh reports in the media which have claimed that CHELSEA could reignite their interest in Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran in the Janaury window, and try to tempt the Villians into selling the young forward.
The Colombian striker, 21, was heavily linked with Chelsea in the summer transfer window as the Blues were prepared to pay big money for the young man, but despite all the speculation and rumours, the Blues opted to not make a move for Duran and stick with what thet had.
He now has 12 goals in 25 appearances this term after notching against Manchester City, who fell to a 2-1 defeat at Villa Park, and very much looks like the player Chelsea believed he could be, which is why reports have claimed that the Blues could reignite their interest.
Chelsea have started the season in great fashion and are firmly in the chase for that Premier League title, but despite all their quality in attack, there is still a feeling that Nicolas Jackson is not the man that could bang in 30 goals a season.
And according to reports, Chelsea could tempt Villa into selling Duran with a massive £80 million offer, the fee that they were asking for during the summer transfer window.
The uncle of Aston Villa star and CHELSEA target Jhon Duran recently opened up and claimed that he is hoping that the striker could earn himself a big time move in the future if he continues to score the goals he has been this season.
Speaking to Gol Caracol, he said: “We are talking about a player who, if he has his feet on the ground, if he lets himself be guided by his advisors, will be very great because he is very young and is not yet mature as an athlete.”
“If his behaviour was not the best, it is normal; you have to let him see it and he will correct it. Having character is different from seeing or believing that others are less than me.”
“Not speaking to people is not character for me, but because I am related to him and have known him since I was a child we believe that we have already achieved everything and since he is young, he may suddenly think that, but I have enormous faith that he is going to correct his behaviour.”
“Jhon Jader is still a 20-year-old boy and there is a lot of room for improvement. When he plays as a starter, he will be among the top scorers in any league he plays in. God gave him virtues that he has to take advantage of and polish, such as his aerial game or getting behind the backs of defenders.
