One of the most exciting players to watch in the Premier League right now is Jhon Duran, who is making a significant impact at Aston Villa.
The Colombian has emerged as a standout performer this season, scoring some stunning goals that are making it difficult for Ollie Watkins to retain his position as the first-choice at Villa Park.
His performances and audacious goals are impressive for someone so young—just 20 years old—which suggests he has even more potential to unleash.
Arsenal is aware of this and, as they search for a new striker, AS Colombia reports that Duran has been added to their wishlist.
The Gunners have been closely monitoring Duran and each time he plays, he gives them another reason to keep him on their radar.
While Benjamin Sesko remains their primary target, Duran’s exceptional performances could prompt Arsenal to consider a move for him at the end of the season instead.
Just Arsenal Opinion
There is no doubt that Duran is a phenomenal striker, and considering our current struggles, it is tempting to even try to sign him in January.
However, he would be an expensive purchase for us in the summer and we have to offer a lot of money to make Villa sell him to us.
ADMIN COMMENT
So here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….
You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans. Everyone is allowed to hold their own opinions even if you disagree with them. It COSTS NOTHING TO BE POLITE TO OTHER ARSENAL FANS.

Another day, another Arsenal/Duran story. His current contract runs until summer 2030. That means that if Villa even wanted to sell one of their top players to an EPL rival (and how likely is that I wonder?) then he would cost a fortune as the article suggests.
Also, there are apparently several European clubs interested, including Barcelona who see him as a possible replacement for the 36-year-old Lewandowski next summer when their financial position is likely to improve.
