Arsenal were very heavily linked with strikers this summer. But they were unable to bring a proper number nine to The Emirates. Gunners were linked with some big names like Victor Osimhen, Viktor Gyokeres, Benjamin Sesko, Alexander Isak and some more. But, they were unable to convince any of these and decided to continue with Kai Havertz. Now, one football legend has told Arsenal that they should sign Jhon Duran who is unstoppable this season.
Manchester United legend Dwight Yorke spoke very highly about the Aston Villa striker. He also spoke about some of the best strikers in Premier League right now.
What exactly did Dwight Yorke said
Yorke was asked about who he thinks are the best strikers in Premier League. Firstly, he said that Erling Haaland is number one for sure. Later he said Ollie Watkins and added that he likes another boy at Villa – Jhon Duran.
Speaking about Duran, United legend said that he looks real handful and a bit different from the rest. He added that Duran is a real deal and he would take a chance on him.
Yorke then said that Arsenal have not got any outstanding number nine. He suggested that Duran would be a good fit as he is always hungry.
Lastly, Yorke gave three more names and closed the topic. He mentioned Darwin Nunez, Alexander Isak and Liam Delap as best strikers in Premier League right now.
How good is Jhon Duran
Duran is used as substitute for Ollie Watkins by Unai Emery. Last season he scored 5 goals in 23 league matches. This season he has already scored 4 goals in 6 league matches and he has not started any of those. Duran has scored total 6 goals this season in 9 matches across all competitions.
Last night, Duran came as a substitute in 70th minute against Bayern Munich. It only took 9 minutes for Duran to score a goal and hand Bayern their first loss in group stage of Champions League in 7 years. Duran has the current market value of €35 million as per the Transfermarkt.
