Chelsea target 20-year-old man as new striker but face heavy competition

Jhon Duran is making quite a name for himself. As a result, top clubs want him. Chelsea are willing to sign him as their new striker. But, it could prove to be very challenging for them. The Blues were in search of a proper forward in the summer too. At the time, Nicolas Jackson was still finding his feet. Also, Christopher Nkunku was suffering with injuries. They even came close to signing Victor Osimhen at one point. But, in the end, the Blues were unable to sign a new center-forward. Although, now it looks like their search for a quality #9 is still ongoing. So, they are keeping an eye on the Aston Villa man.

Colombian striker on the rise

The 20-year-old began the new Premier League season in some style. He went on to score a banger early on in the season. As per transfermarkt, he already has 6 goals in 9 appearances for the Villains this season. Recently, Jhon Duran also scored their winner against Bayern in the UCL. As of now, he also has most goals per 90 mins in Europe’s top seven leagues. His stats for a 20-year-old are simply incredible. It is not a surprise that Chelsea are keen to signing the Villa striker.

Chelsea face Real Madrid challenge for Jhon Duran

The Blues are keeping constant tabs on his development. But, after his recent UCL exploits, even Real Madrid are interested. As per football.london, Villa will ask around £100 million for the striker if he continues to play at such levels. When you think about it, both of these clubs are already well-equipped in the striking positions. Jackson and Nkunku are on fire for the Blues. Meanwhile, Los Blancos have Mbappe and Endrick shining for them. We feel that Jhon Duran may end up struggling for play time with the two. We feel it would be better suited if Arsenal sign him. Especially since Gabriel Jesus could be leaving in January.
