West Ham United were reportedly close to signing Jhon Duran at some point, and AC Milan are set to pursue the Colombian.
According to Manuele Baiocchini, as relayed by Radio Rossonera, AC Milan are contemplating a move for Jhon Duran, who could still leave Aston Villa this summer. The report also highlights West Ham’s interest in the Colombian striker, suggesting that the Hammers have already come very close to landing the Aston Villa striker.
West Ham United are vying for Jhon Duran
West Ham are keen on a new striker, and could see some links in the coming days to various names. One could be Jhon Duran, with the Hammers seemingly eager to get ahead of the competition for the Colombian forward.
Duran appeared to have set his heart on the move to Chelsea, but the Blues were hesitant to complete a deal when the opportunity arose. Rumours suggested that the protracted discussions between them and Aston Villa may have ended after the PSR-imposed June 30 deadline, when the clubs chose to complete other deals that did not involve the Colombian striker.
Chelsea could still rekindle their interest, although West Ham are now looking to steal a march over them and others in pursuit of the Colombian striker. The Hammers are reportedly ahead, with the report insisting they might have already come close to signing the 20-year-old striker in recent days.
Things could accelerate, with the Colombian set to return soon from international duty after the Copa America final loss to Argentina. The Hammers will look to keep their front-runner tag intact, although they may face a fresh threat in the form of AC Milan in the race to sign Jhon Duran.
AC Milan eager to sign Duran
The departure of Olivier Giroud has left a considerable gap in Milan’s forward line as they continue to search for a notable name to fill the void. There is talk of a move for Niclas Fullkrug or Tammy Abraham, although they consider Duran a viable option.
The report has a confident tone when suggesting AC Milan are capable of turning the 20-year-old Colombian’s head away from the Premier League. Whether that is the case remains to be seen, as the Rossoneri are showing some severe intent about bringing Duran from Aston Villa.
