Liverpool urged to ‘keep an eye’ on Aston Villa star after Man City performance

Liverpool have urge to consider signing Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran following his latest impressive performance against Manchester City.

Duran joined Villa from Chicago Fire in January 2023 for an initial fee of £14.75 million but has had to wait his turn given the form of Ollie Watkins last season.

The Colombian enjoye a fruitful start to this campaign as an impact substitute, coming off the bench to score key goals including against Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

The 21-year-old now appears to have https://ufabet999.app usurpe Watkins in the pecking order having starte up front in Villa’s last three Premier League games.

And Duran is continuing his excellent goalscoring form, notching up his fourth goal in as many games as Villa beat Manchester City 2-1 at home on Saturday afternoon.

The striker now has 12 goals in 25 appearances in all competitions, with Villa no doubt prepare for renewed interest in the talented striker when the January transfer window opens next month.

Duran had interest from Chelsea in the summer and came close to agreeing a deal to join West Ham, but Didi Hamann believes that Arne Slot’s side should also look to sign the Colombian to bolster their attacking options.

Asked if Liverpool could sign Harry Kane, the former Reds midfielder, speaking to BoyleSports about Premier League Betting, said: ‘To be honest, he seems happy at Bayern Munich and I don’t think Munich want to sell him either.

‘I don’t think that will happen and Liverpool have never been the biggest spenders, so it’s unlikely.

Hamman instead said Liverpool should target Duran, adding: ‘Jhon Duran is a brilliant player and the way he plays, it always helps having a player with a physical presence up front.

‘He created space up front and made a huge impact for Villa [against City] – I certainly think Liverpool need to keep an eye on him.’
