Aston Villa forward Jhon Duran, 20, has taken social media by storm amid strong transfer links with West Ham. Duran scored eight goals in 37 appearances last season but struggled to secure a spot in Unai Emery’s starting line-up due to Ollie Watkins’ impressive form.

This has led to significant interest from West Ham, with Duran appearing eager for more first-team football.The Colombian international intensified speculation with a live video where he crossed his arms in West Ham’s Irons gesture, prompting a flurry of reactions from fans. One West Ham supporter likened him to Marko Arnautovic, suggesting he could bring chaos to the team. Others expressed mixed feelings about the potential transfer.

According to the Evening Standard, Villa rejected a bid from West Ham exceeding £30 million, as they value Duran at £40 million. Chelsea also showed interest during the summer, but Enzo Maresca’s side is reluctant to meet Villa’s valuation.

Here is the season highlight video of Jhon Durán.
