Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran has been linked with a move away from the West Midlands club in recent months.

The 20-year-old Colombian international is a man in demand and a report from the Mirror claims that Aston Villa have already turned down around 40 transfer offers for the player. The Colombian has not had ample game time at Aston Villa and he is frustrated with the lack of first-team action.

Naturally, there were speculations surrounding his future at the club during the summer transfer window. However, Aston Villa ended up keeping him at Villa Park.

It will be interesting to see if they can nurture him into a quality first-team player in the coming seasons. The report states that Aston Villa manager Unai Emery is convinced that the Colombian could develop into one of the best strikers in the world.

Aston Villa paid £15 million to sign the player from Chicago Fire in January last year and he is highly rated within the club. Aston Villa must nurture him carefully and give him ample first team exposure if they want him to fulfil his tremendous potential.
