Jhon Duran has committed himself wholeheartedly in response to proposals from West Ham United and tottenham .
Jhon Duran, a talented teenage striker for Aston Villa, has been rewarded for his exceptional play with a new contract that runs through June 2030.
The 21-year-old has scored six goals in just 324 minutes of competitive play to start the 2024–25 season off to a fantastic start. He has also scored four of those strikes, making him a major factor in Villa’s victories in August, September, and October.
Duran arrived with a lot of potential after signing with Major League Soccer team Chicago Fire in January 2023, but few could have predicted his quick ascent to prominence. The 12-time Colombia international, known for being a fantastic sub, has seen his worth climb from the meager £14.75 million with add-ons paid to recruit him 20 months ago.
On separate occasions during the summer, Duran came dangerously close to joining Premier League rivals Chelsea and West Ham United. Before pulling out,tottenham and West Ham came to an agreement in principle to purchase the striker for £45 million, with two bids being turned down.
During a social media live stream, Duran notoriously demanded a move to the Hammers by making an irons gesture with his fists; this action sparked an internal investigation at Villa. But Unai Emery quickly chose to give Duran another chance, brushing that moment of insanity under the rug.
Since then, the rapid progress has been evident, as evidenced by the goals that have already been scored against teams like Everton, Crystal Palace, and Bayern Munich. And now that several more years at Villa Park have been assured, fans can anticipate many more moments just like this one.
