ARSENAL boss Mikel Arteta has been urged to ‘take a chance’ on Premier League star Jhon Duran following his superb start to the season for Aston Villa and solve a real problem for the club in the coming transfer windows.
Duran, who was linked with Chelsea and West Ham over the summer, has scored 12 goals in 25 appearances so far this season, helping Villa continue their impressive form after they finished fourth last term.
Stanley says the Gunners are still lacking an ‘outstanding number nine’ and believes Duran would be an ideal addition to Mikel Arteta’s squad, although it may be difficult to get the striker signed in the January window.
Duran has started the last few games for Aston Villa because of his impressive performances for the club, so he is now firmly establishing himself as the first choice option for Unai Emery and a man that could lead that attack for years.
Asked who he thinks Arsenal should try and sign, Stanley told icfootballnews: ‘I think the Gunners should make a tempting offer to sign Duran from Aston Villa..
‘He looks a real handful and a bit different from the rest. He’s got that good presence about him. Arsenal take a chance on him, he looks like the real deal and a player that could develop into of the best forwards in the Premier League.
‘What I look for is people who are hungry, and he’s got that. In terms of the big boys, ARSENAL haven’t got an outstanding No. 9 and needs to make sure that they improve that department in January or at the end of the season
‘I also like Alexander Isak, he would be another good option for the Gunners to sign, I was really impressed with his performance against Ipswich at the weekend, he looks a handful. You can’t just go by one game, but he looks a threat.’
