Aston Villa want €30 million all-inclusive to sell Jhon Duran amid West Ham United links

Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran has been linked with a move away from the club this summer, with West Ham United interested.

Jhon Duran is reportedly a target for West Ham United and an update by reputed German journalist Florian Plettenberg has revealed that Aston Villa will demand €30 million in order to sell the 20-year-old.

West Ham United are interested in Duran, and it will be interesting to see if they are willing to pay that kind of money for the South American attacker. They need to bring in attacking reinforcements this summer, and the 20-year-old would be a long-term investment for them.

Jhon Duran has struggled for regular game time at the West Midlands club, and he needs to leave Aston Villa to play regularly. A move to West Ham could be ideal for him, especially if they are willing to provide him with regular game time.

The Hammers need a quality striker in their ranks, and the 20-year-old could develop into a key player for them. Working under Julen Lopetegui could help him improve further and fulfil his tremendous potential.

West Ham could use Duran

West Ham will look to do well next season, and they need to plug the gaps in their squad. Signing a quality goalscorer should be one of their priorities. They do not have a reliable striker at their disposal. Michail Antonio and Danny Ings have been quite mediocre, and they will need to be replaced if West Ham are serious about pushing for European qualification every season.

Jhon Duran has the potential to develop into a top class Premier League striker with the right guidance and exposure. Regular football at West Ham will accelerate his development. The reported €30 million asking price seems reasonable for a player of his potential.

The Colombian international could easily justify the investment in the near future. West Ham have the financial muscle to get the deal done as well, and it will be interesting to see how the situation develops over the next few weeks. Aston Villa will look to invest the proceeds from his departure into the playing squad if the move goes through. Villa are in the Champions League next season, and they need quality players.
