Despite conflicting reports, a fee for Jhon Duran is yet to be agreed.
Aston Villa want £40m + add ons for the young striker, We are reluctant to pay such a fee for a relatively unproven ST. However, Julen Lopetegui is adamant that Duran is the perfect striker for the style he looks to implement in the club so we are expected to go back in soon.
Duran is said to have turned down a lucrative offer from a team in the Saudi league recently insisting that he only wants West Ham. This shows that the player is focused on his football and intrigued with Lopetegui’s project. This is encouraging for West Ham as he seems to be backing Villa into a corner where they will have to sell to cut their losses however how long will we have to wait to get our main man?
