Everton, Nottingham Forest, Bournemouth and West Ham United are all interested in signing Jhon Duran from Fenerbahçe this month.
That’s according to A Spor. The Turkish outlet reports that Duran is ‘on the radar’ of Premier League clubs. A move is tricky at this moment in time, though, as he doesn’t want to leave Fenerbahçe. The Super Lig side, however, may feel differently.
The Colombian striker is currently on loan at the Turkish club from Al-Nassr. He joined them in July, just six months after joining the Saudi Arabian side for €77m.
Jhon Duran managed 12 goals in 18 games for them during that six months but seemingly wanted a return to Europe and thus joined Fenerbahçe on loan for the season in the summer. He’s scored five and assisted three in 21 games for them so far.
But they’re undergoing something of a revolution of their forward line this month, with Youssef En-Nesyri also looking likely to depart at some point. He too, incidentally, has been linked with Everton. Fenerbahçe in turn, were in talks with Everton striker Beto about a move.

Now comes an apparent interest in Jhon Duran, with A Spor stating the Toffees are one of several suitors in the Premier League. David Moyes side have him on their radar alongside Bournemouth, Nottingham Forest and West Ham this month.
They would all, presumably, be looking at loan deals. And how that would work with Al-Nassr remains to be seen. There would have to be a cancellation of his current loan before he could end up at Everton, Bournemouth, Nottingham Forest or West Ham this month.
For several days there’s been Turkish reports of Premier League interest, without clubs being named.
The striker has been pulled out of the travelling squad to face FCSB in the Europa League tomorrow. Whilst that has been put down to a knock, there’s obviously a widespread suspicion it’s transfer related.
Could Jhon Duran be on the move yet again? Few would be surprised.
