Arsenal have been linked with Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran. The 21 year old has been in superb form and has caught attention of every top club. But, the Colombian has not handed Gunners with major blow ahead of January transfer window.
Arsenal are desperately looking for a striker right now. They are very likely to spend big in order to land a clinical striker next year. Over the last months, Gunners have been linked with many top strikers in the world.
One of their targets is Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran. The 21 year old has been superb for Unai Emery this season. He has already scored 10 goals which is the best figure in his career so far.
What makes, Duran’s 10 goals special is the fact that he is not the main striker. The Colombian has been used as backup for Watkins and so far has only started 4 games across all competitions.
Aston Villa have no intention to part ways with Duran as of yet. In addition, they have already demanded a hefty fee of £75 million for their prized asset. But, the 21 year old has still been linked with top clubs due to his superb performances.

Villa are now very likely to qualify directly into Champions League round of 16. They will hope to keep all of their key players in order to progress even further. In addition, they will be keen to keep their spot in Premier League top four just as last season. Currently they are on 6th position with 25 points in 15 games.
