Chelsea told £80 million target ‘has everything’ after scoring again!
Youri Tielemans says his Aston Villa team-mate and CHELSEA 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.
Reporter Iomie Stanley has claimed that Chelsea will make a move for the striker in the January window – he told icfootballnews: ‘The young Colombian has been in scintillating form for Villa this season, showing flashes of his immense potential and drawing attention from top clubs around Europe. Having been linked with Chelsea in the past, Durán’s performances under Unai Emery may push the Blues to consider making a move this winter.
‘Despite heavy spending on attackers in recent windows, CHELSEA continue to struggle in the final third. With Nicolas Jackson still finding his feet in the Premier League, Chelsea lack a proven goal scorer capable of leading the line consistently. This has forced the club to explore options for the January window, and Durán could be a perfect fit.
‘At just 20 years old, Durán has shown an impressive mix of strength, pace, and finishing ability, scoring important goals for Aston Villa this season. His physical attributes and direct style would suit Chelsea’s attack, providing them with a dynamic forward who can stretch defenses and pose an aerial threat.
‘For Jhon Durán, a move to Chelsea would represent a significant step in his career. While he is currently developing well under Emery at Villa, Chelsea’s stature and history of competing for top honors could be difficult to ignore. Additionally, Durán would have the chance to play a central role in a team looking to rebuild under Enzo Maresca, with Chelsea’s long-term project potentially appealing to the young striker.
‘With Durán continuing to impress at Villa Park, CHELSEA could see him as a solution to their ongoing striker issues. A January bid might be on the cards as the Blues look to boost their attacking options’.
