Englishman announces ‘HE CAN SEE WHY’ Chelsea wants £40M star – striker ‘REALLY WANTS’ Blues move

Former England forward Emile Heskey has admitted he can see why Chelsea are eyeing up a move for Aston Villa’s Jhon Duran, who really wants a move to Stamford Bridge.

The centre-forward scored a modest eight goals in 37 appearances in all competitions last season and it is believed the Blues see the 20-year-old as a potential answer to their striker problems.

Duran is thought to be happy at Villa Park but would be eager to move to CHELSEA if they push through with their interest. It is thought the striker believes he would work well with Maresca and suits the club’s vision.

It is reported that he has asked his agent to get a deal done despite no formal proposal being made, and Permission has been granted by Villa for Chelsea to discuss personal terms but nothing is doing so far.

He told OLBG: “I quite like Jhon Duran but he hasn’t played enough since coming in at Aston Villa. But he has been lively and very direct when he has played. He always wants to have shots at goal and maybe that is because he is trying to show the manager what he is capable of.

“He’s very direct and that’s probably why Chelsea are looking at him to help bolster their forward line, Chelsea have been blessed with forwards over the years but the pressure is on straight away.”

Duran is certainly a talented striker – but this is the wrong move at the wrong time for the lad – he will really struggle to make any sort of impact at CHELSEA because he is not good enough for the Blues yet.

We are sure that Enzo Maresca would like a more ready-made striker to get signed – so this is surely a player that the Blues board are more interested in signing.
