Jhon Duran can go right to the top - but here's why Aston Villa may still sell him, writes TOM COLLOMOSSE Even though he has played barely 10 minutes since Boxing Day, Jhon Duran is the centre of attention at Aston Villa.
The Colombian’s glorious unpredictability makes him one of Europe’s most watchable players.
Why would a club still involved in this season’s Champions League, where a win in Monaco on Tuesday would likely put them in the last 16, consider selling their top scorer, especially when he is one of the most exciting young players in the world?.
While the price was high, probably second only to Jack Grealish’s £100million move to Manchester City in the list of Villa’s record sales, Duran’s admirers were confident Villa would be willing to do business.
Boss Unai Emery said last week that he would like to keep the 21-year-old at the club for the next 10 years, adding the caveat: ‘I don’t know whether we will keep (Duran and Ollie Watkins) here for a long time but hopefully we will.’.
