Arsenal have made call in bid to complete signing of impressive 12-goal Premier League star
The latest, as revealed by Fabrizio Romano, is that ARSENAL are still interested in signing Aston Villa’s Jhon Duran before the close of the transfer window in just a few days time.
Duran, who was linked with Chelsea and West Ham over the summer, has scored 12 goals so far this season, helping Villa continue their impressive form after they finished fourth last term.
Reports 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.
On his YouTube channel, Romano confirmed that Arsenal are one of those clubs having recently called Villa to understand Duran’s situation: “What I’m told is that also Arsenal made a call in the recent weeks to understand the situation of Jhon Duran, because Sesko, at the moment, no green light from Leipzig.
“Also Alexander Isak, the dream target of Arsenal. Super expensive, almost very complicated, impossible, nothing in football, but very complicated.
“And so in recent weeks, also Arsenal called to understand the situation of Jhon Duran, but no bid, no direct negotiations with Aston Villa.”
Asked who he thinks Arsenal should try and sign, reporter Iomie Stanley told icfootballnews that Duran is the player Arsenal should go for: ‘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.’
