Chelsea and West Ham are monitoring talented Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran. The latter has scored 5 goals so far this start of the season, in all competitions, helping his team win 4 out of 5 games played in the Premier League. Duran was linked with a possible move to a rival team during the summer transfer window. Despite the fact that nothing concrete came to fruition, it seems that the striker is still close to a new adventure in England.
Chelsea managers want to bring to Stamford Bridge a confirmed striker, who can guarantee goals every game. The same goes for West Ham. The latter have struggled to find the back of the net in recent weeks, despite the approach of Niclas Fullkrug. The team looks unbalanced, especially in the offensive department, and the club's leaders may be forced to spend in the January market to solve the goal problem.
Aston Villa do not want Duran to leave and the club's management will do their best not to lose the striker. However, the club also needs reinforcements, and therefore as many financial opportunities as possible. According to English media, Aston Villa leaders want to bring Liverpool defender Joe Gomez to the team. The player has only played 100 minutes this season under coach Arne Slot, and is considering a move away from Liverpool. Gomez was close to leaving in the summer market, but a move did not materialize.
Aston Villa are looking to strengthen their defensive unit, and the Liverpool defender looks the perfect fit. Especially considering the fact that the player can cover several positions on the field. This was noticed last season, when Gomez was also activated in the midfield for "The Reds".
