Arsenal told £80 million target ‘has everything’ after scoring again!
Youri Tielemans says his Aston Villa team-mate and ARSENAL target Jhon Duran ‘has everything’ after he scored in the impressive 2-0 win over Bologna to help Unai Emery’s side go top of the Champions League.
Villa’s inspiring Champions League journey continued on Tuesday as they downed Serie A side Bologna to move to the top of the league phase after three games.
Duran scored the winner that day and there were similarly joyous scenes in Birmingham this evening as Villa maintained their perfect start to the European competition against Bologna.
Discussing his team-mate’s strengths after his start to the new season, Tielemans told TNT Sports: ‘Duran has everything.
‘He has technique, he can hold the ball and can flick on. He is an all round striker.’
Duran let his emotions get the better of him when he was replaced by Ollie Watkins immediately after scoring, kicking a seat in the dugout after being taken off by Emery.
‘He is really funny,’ Tielemans said when asked about Duran’s reaction. ‘The manager does not care. He knows everyone wants to play. It is part of the game.
Pundit Dwight Yorke recently said the Gunners are still lacking an ‘outstanding number nine’ and believes Duran would be an ideal addition to Mikel Arteta’s squad, with the former Villa star telling the Spanish boss to take a chance on Duran.
Asked who he rates as the best strikers in the Premier League, Yorke told Prime Casino: ‘I think Erling Haaland, he’s the No. 1 for sure.
‘I think Ollie Watkins will get a mention, because he’s consistent. And the third one, I like another boy at Villa – Jhon Duran.
‘He looks a real handful and a bit different from the rest. He’s got that good presence about him. I would take a chance on him, he looks like the real deal.
‘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.
‘At Liverpool, I like Darwin Nunez and people go on about him missing chances, but I like his presence and what he brings
‘He needs to get a bit more confident in front of goal. He’s got all the attributes. He’s still relatively young and can only get better.
‘I also like Alexander Isak. There’s the guy at Ipswich, Liam Delap, he’s a real surprise player.
‘Watching him against Villa the other day, I was really impressed, he looks a handful. You can’t just go by one game, but he looks a threat.’
