Arsenal may have to pay a big transfer fee for BIG striker in top form with 11 goals..

Arsenal are set to turn their interest to Colombian striker Jhon Duran as his impressive performances with Aston Villa came to the notice of the North London club. The Gunners tracked a large number of players in the Premier League, but Duran’s work off the bench move him to the top of the wanted list.

Known for scoring spectacular goals, Duran has soon established himself as one of the Premier League most deadly super-subs. A series of impressive performances brought him into the radar, and with Arsenal showing serious interest in strengthening the team with his brilliance, things have only gotten better.

There was speculation throughout the first half of the season that Arsenal might be able to get him on the cheap thanks to a reportedly low release clause in his contract, but according to a source, Aston Villa’s recent success means they have revised their transfer policy with no release clause in Duran’s new deal.

That means any club interested in the signing of Duran, like Arsenal, will have to approach Villa for his release. His estimated player fee reportedly stands quite high in correlation with his growing stature, and also because Aston Villa is keen on holding on to their key men.

In Arsenal’s improvements on the process of putting together a competitive team that could hopefully compete for trophies, the chase for Jhon Duran simply underlines one thing: an ambitious readiness to invest in promising young talent. Doubtless, these negotiations with Aston Villa will attract wide interest among both sets of supporters.
