Everton and West Ham United are reportedly interested in signing former Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran in the winter transfer window.
According to a report from A Spor, multiple clubs are interested in Jhon Duran, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up. He is a promising young player with a lot of talent. He has shown his quality in the Premier League with the West Midlands club. His numbers have been excellent since moving to Saudi Arabia with Al-Nassr.
The former Aston Villa striker was sent on loan to Fenerbahce at the start of the season, and he has five goals for them in all competitions so far. The opportunity to return to the Premier League might not be exciting for him. The report claims that the player is uninterested in leaving the Turkish club this month.
It remains to be seen whether Everton follow up on their interest in Jhon Duran with an official proposal to complete the deal. They need to find a quality replacement for Beto. The former Udinese striker has not been at his best, and they need to replace him if they want to do well.
Additionally, widespread reports have linked Beto with several clubs in recent weeks. Signing Duran could prove to be a wise decision. He is a young player with great potential and could become a star with the right guidance.
Similarly, West Ham need more quality in their attacking unit as well, although signing a striker makes no sense. Callum Wilson was expected to leave the club soon, but he is set to remain at the London Stadium beyond the winter transfer window. They have already invested in a couple of strikers this month, and it will be interesting to see if they are prepared to move for the South American.
West Ham might not be able to offer him regular opportunities. It remains to be seen how the situation develops. The Colombian international will want to join a club where he has a prominent role in the starting lineup. Sitting on the bench at an English club will not be an appealing option for him.
